Q:I Kelly Blue Booked the 2006 Corolla LE I have, and it is listed at $10,625 trade-in and $12,815 private party. It has 36,000 miles on it.Adding a $600 suspension system. what would that do to the value of the car? Would I see any of it in the resale value?

Dealers don't care about such add-ons. In fact, they may look at it as a modification that they can not warranty. Some buyers will wonder if the car was abused and had to have the suspension replaced and be skeptical. You have to find someone with the same mindset as yourself to ensure that they see the value - or any value - in what was done to the car.

Q:i need to change the suspension so my 17 alloys dont hit my wheel arches when i go over speed bumps, i dont want to spend money on new suspension systems, is there a way to only spend a little of springs or something else?

Depends on your code. I'm used to a 3/4 connection and we run PVC from the meter to the house. The home depot guy should be more familiar with the local code. You don't want the city to make you rip it out

Q:What are raw frame speakers? I am looking for replacement guitar speakers.?

Make it like a hookah.Put the same sized holes all around the sides, and in the middle. You can tell him it's a vase, but then when it's done, you can get glass or metal tubes rubber stoppers for the extra holes.

Q:I wrecked my car and need to find out what this part is called so I can get a price for it. It‘s the part that connects behind the brake disc, to what looks like the frame. Please send me links to pics if you know any.

top is upper control arm and bottom is lower control arm

Q:Can 22 rims fit on a ford flex without modifying the suspension system????!!?!?!

an other alternative for slip is just plain water, also spit works too :P

Q:My buddy told me that my car‘s suspension control module is busted. What the hell does that mean?

some higher end cars (Cadillac, Lexus, ect.) have a ride control module that softens or stiffens the suspension according to road and driving inputs from other modules (ecm, tcm, ect.) these rarely fail usually wiring or another component in the system, like a strut sensor,

Q:Hey everyone. I am lifting my 1986 Chevy Silveraldo k20 truck. Is it best to go to Les Schwab and tell them i want a lift? or go online at like summit racing equipment and buy my lift then and have someone install it? Cause i want a 6in Skyjacker. Can Les Schwab do that? What do you think? And do you think a 6in Skyjacker is a good way to go? i heard they are stronger then nails.

The 6 inch Skyjacker lift is stronger than nails and rides like it too. You can save a lot of money buying the lift off of the internet and having someone else install it if you cant but you should know that a lot of garages will not install parts that they don't order themselves because a lot of times they try to do the installation and find that it is wrong or not complete and tie a bay up for a long time. When a bay is tied up with a vehicle they cant work on they lose money. So it would be a good idea to ask the garage if they will do it before you buy. Anther thing to consider is do you need a 6 inch lift? I put a 6 inch lift on my Chevy and it makes 35 inch tires look like tiny spare tires or something. To make it look good you will need to run 40 inch tires at least and then you have to worry about your gear ratio. With tires that tall you will want to run a 4.56 ratio gear set to keep enough power to spin them. You may also have to build the motor some to get more low end torque so that you are not driving around with the gas pedal smashed to the floor all the time. Another problem you will have with that much lift is you will have to get new drive shafts made to fit the truck because they will need to be a few inches longer. And then it would be a good idea to clock your transfer case so that the front shaft is not at too bad of an angle. If you don't do this it will shake like a wet dog in four wheel drive and it will be hard on universal joints. Personally I wish that I went with a 4 inch lift instead because it eliminates almost all of those problems and 35 inch tires look awesome on that set up. The smaller lift is also really easy to install and can be completed in just a few hours with no special tools. Its up to you but I felt compelled to let you know what is involved in this project. Hope I have been helpful.

Q:The two towers are 2800 ft apart,The roadway is supported by 99 equal spaced cable systems between the two towers,The center cable is 10 ft long,the parabolic shaped cable is suspended from the top of each tower 310 ft,and the road way is horizontal.1)Find an equation of a parabolic curve that fits the given Information.2)Find the width of the interval between each cable.3)Find the length of the three cables to the right of the center cable.4)Find the length of the three cables closest to the tower.

Set up a cartesian coordinate system (Draw x and y axes on a sketch of the bridge) so that the roadway is represented by y 0 and the centre of the bridge is at x 0. This puts the towers at x -1400 ft and x +1400 ft You now have a parabola passing through the points (-1400,310); (0,10); (1400,310) The equation of that parabola is going to be in the form y ax? + c When x 0, y 10; so c 10 Substituting values for one of the suspension points: 310 a * (1400)? + 10 a 300 / (1400)? 1.53 * 10^-4 So y 0.000153x? + 10 99 cables plus the two towers will result in 100 intervals, so the interval will be 2800/100 28 ft So the three cables to the right of the centre cable will be at x 28, x 56 and x 84 Substitute each in turn into the equation for the parabola: Example: For the cable next to the centre cable, x 28 y 0.000153 * (28)? + 10 y 10.12 ft Repeat for the next two values of x The cable next to the tower will be at a value of x (1400 - 28) 1372 Next to that will be at x (1400 - 56) Next to that will be at x (1400 - 84) Just plug each value in turn into the equation.

Q:I bought an old 1985 Mercedes 500 SEL and the suspension is a little mushy. It occasionally bottoms out on larger bumps, especially with passengers. I have read around there may be a way to adjust the stiffness but i cant find where to do that, does any one know how. thanks

You ride is non-adjustable. If this vehicle is a European version, it will have a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension. On the self-levelling suspension, you cannot adjust the firmness of the ride but if it is bottoming out, the system may be low on fluid or have some other faults with the rear suspension. If this vehicle was a North American version, it will have a standard shock and coil spring suspension set-up. Only the 560SEL (from '86-'91) received the hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension
