Passat (B6) :: 2007 - Rear Brakes Are Wearing Out So Much Faster

I have a 2007 Passat with 47,000 miles on it. The dealer tells me I need new rear brakes now, but the front brakes have 50% life left in them. When I asked why the rear brakes are wearing out so much faster, he said VW rear brakes always seem to wear out twice as fast. Is this true?

IS F (2008-2014) :: 2011- Front Inner Tire Wearing?

I'm looking to buy an ISF and now I'm reading about the 2IS chassis suffering from front inner tire wear with many attributing it to the soft LCA bushing (see FIG fix) and the factory alignment. Most of the reports seem to be focused on the 2008-2010 ISFs and I see little about 2011+ owners reporting this issue. It's my understanding that the 2011+ front springs are slightly taller/higher and a different rate. Did this possibility (inadvertently) correct the front inner tire wear issue?

I had a 2003 G35 and front inner tire wear plagued that car too and it was annoying and no real fix available. It had the same exact suspension setup on ALL components. We didn't smoke through the inner rubber tread, but rather it feathered like and if you didn't stay on top of it, your G/Z would sound and feel like a dump truck after about 10-15K miles because of the feathering.

I'm looking at 2012-2014 ISFs and I would check and correct the alignment if necessary. I know FIG makes a replacement bushing, but it's urethane and after about 20 years of modding cars, I've learned that urethane is best left to race cars. After about 5K miles, urethane needs regreasing and almost always leads to squeaking/clunking as the urethane loosens up after a year or two.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Rear Tires Wearing Unevenly - Tire Pressure?

I do 98% of my driving unloaded and almost never tow. (Kinda weird for an F350 huh) I know that the truck recommends going with 65psi front and 80psi rear but the rear tires seem to not be wearing evenly across the tread pattern. The edges still have the little rubber stubs sticking out of them even after almost 3000 miles. Should I be running a lower tires pressure in the rear when empty or should I just let tire rotations take care of the uneven wear. If I should air down, what pressure would be recommended? The front tires are wearing normally at 65psi and they have more weight on them then the rear.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Rear Sunshade Stuck In Middle Position - Reducing Visibility?

I had a question regarding the rear sunshade. Currently my sun shade is stuck in the middle position and it is very annoying and also is reducing my visibility in my rear view mirror because the bar is in the middle of my view. I took it to my local dealer and they said just to put it in the lower position would cost $800-1000. Does this seem fair ? I didn't break it, and why should I have to pay for something that is a malfunctioning part. The worst part is my rear view mirror is also turning black in the inside of the mirror also reducing my visibility ?

Prius (2001-03) :: Driver Side Brakes Wearing Twice As Fast As Passengers Side

I have a 02 Prius and the driver's side brakes are wearing twice as fast as the passengers side. Some times if I have to stop quickly the brakes pads continue to apply pressure on the rotor when the brakes are released. After a little drive they seem to go back to normal. Is this a sign of a bad caliper or master cyl.? I know before I purchased the car the front brakes and rotors were done, but they used after market parts

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Could Inflated Tire Cause Engine To Wear Out Faster?

I purchased the 2010 corolla back in October of 2010 and never noticed until almost 2 years later that all of my tires were inflated to 62 PSI.

I went to the dealer and they didn't know anything, I myself didn't put any air into it nor did my brother who drives the car too. However he has always complained that the ride was stiff.

Iam wondering if it cause my engine to wear out faster since the tires were so stiff and it bumps when going over pot whole. I could be 100% certain I drove it off the lot with 62 PSIs.....

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Car Is Chewing Inner Side Of Passenger Side Tire

Just noticed today that the car is chewing the inner side of the passenger tire. The remaining 3 corners do not have this problem. The car is lowered.

I think I have maybe -1.2 camber in front, not more than that. I don't know if its the toe that needs to be adjusted or something else is causing this? Just seems weird that only 1 tire is having the problem.....

Subaru - Forester :: 2010 - Front Left Tire Looses Pressure Faster Than Other Tires

I have a 2010 Subaru Forester that looses pressure in the front left tire much more quickly than the other 3 tires. For example, I just filled up all 4 tires to 33PSI, and when I checked it a week or two later, the front left was at 26PSI, while the other 3 were still at 32-33PSI. In the past, the tire pressure light has come on because the front left tire managed to get as low as 16PSI, while the other 3 tires were still at ~26PSI. Is it possible to have a small leak that leaks a couple PSI per week?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Low Pressure Tire Gauge Lit Up In The Middle Of Traffic

Yesterday in the pouring rain the low pressure tire gauge in my 2014 Sonata lit up in the middle of traffic. I drove to the nearest gas station and checked the pressure of all 4 tires, even though the diagram on the dashboard pointed to only one tire. Filled and checked all the tires again (still in the pouring rain) and drove off, only to find that the low pressure light was still on.

I was told by a mechanic-friend that I should bring it in for service and have the sensor reset. I didn't have this problem with my 2011 Elantra. Maybe if I just kick the dashboard it will reset the sensor...

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Driver Side Seat Wearing Out

Looking for recommendations for a well fitting seat cover for this series of trucks? My driver's side is tearing (12 years of people dragging their rear ends across it will do that) and the foam cushion is starting to lose small pieces. I try to stand on the running board when getting in/out to minimize wear on the seat, but I'm just delaying the inevitable, not preventing it. I bought a set at Autozone, but it's going back because it doesn't fit properly and that makes it look, well, kind of tacky.

​​​I've tried a few local scrap yards, but nobody has a matching seat in my interior color that isn't already wearing out. Autozone or any other retailer just carry universal fit covers, which don't fit well enough to look appealing. My only other option is to have it re-upholstered, but I have a feeling that might be on the spendy side.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Driver Side Tire And Rim Started Heating Up

My 2008 ES350 started shaking and the front driver's side tire and rim started heating up. Turns out there is a hanging caliper, which needs to be replaced. That's the cause of the friction and heat on the rotor. I should replace both front calipers, pads and rotors, then bleed the brakes.

Mileage is about 90k.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Low Tire Pressure Notification

So this morning heading to work the low tire pressure notification popped up. I filled my tires with air afterwards, but the light and notification are still present. Would that reset on it's own, or do I have to do something along the lines of when resetting the oil maintenance message thru the speedometer settings?

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Rear Driver Side Tire Blew At 24k Miles

So my rear driver side tire blew at 24k miles. Dropped with Tein H techs when I first bought and had it aligned via lexus. 14 months later and tire blew. The thread on the tire was very worn on the inner side of the tire so I had to exchanged them both. I order the Michelin ps2 and now it's rubbing ?

Why is the Michelin rubbing when the tires are the exact same specs as factory? Didn't know I had to get camber kits for just H Techs.

Lexus SC430 :: Inside Edges Of Tires Wearing Out

'02 SC430 with just over 30K miles. She is wearing out the inside edges of the tires. We have had the car aligned twice in our one year ownership. Are these cars prone to this kind of wear and/or going out of alignment? Would this be a spring/shock/strut issue? I assume the original components are still on the car so maybe she just needs replacement parts due to age. She has low miles, but she is 11 years old now.
