Tread depth is not the way to measure tire diameter! A tire's diameter CAN NOT be determined by the it's size on the sidewall! Even the same size tire of a different design made by the same manufacturer may not have the same diameter too! Measuring from top to bottom will not give diameter measurements that are valid. If you want to know the diameter of a tire in question, got to the MFG.s site and find the revs per mile for your tires and compare. As for asymmetrical on one side vs the other in the front, under normal conditions, you will never be able to tell the difference! Not only was I a tire store manager but, I owned and operated 22 tire and brake stores and was the largest distributor of Yokohama tires. I even owned the next 6 months of production at 1 time. But that is another story for another time.

I did this for my wife. She loves it too.

Thanks for the video! After watching the tech compare the fuel pump spring difference, I now understand the extra noise (sounds like a clicking lifter) a failing fuel pump would display.

Back when I worked in a SAAB dealership, some of the cars were plagued with some strange happenings. One involved a certain area in Boston MA. The others, random happening all over the US. The common denominator was they all started after being towed back to the dealerships. No problem found!! The problems were found to be not enough RF shielding. The Boston problem was found to be the antennas for the radio and TV stations were located where the car conked out. The others were found to be at "radio controlled" intersections. If the car was stopped there, it was towed from there. But, if the light was green, the car only sputtered it's way through the intersection. These were the early days of Bosch EFI. So with all of the "computers" in all of the vehicles, "No problem found" will continue, So, it's best to turn it off and restart and smile because you know more than a whole bunch of Technicians. Because it's poor or not enough RF shielding and YOU got glitched! DE KI6FG

Right! That's why I said replace the mirror. The fun hold your breath is getting the old one off. Some blow-up the wind-screen I had no problem but, I can't remember the special tool I used... GL Gary

Replace the mirror. I had to do mine too. 2008 Limited

Looks like good stuff with PEA. Also look for Top Tier fuel or Shell and Chevron to name a few They all have PEA too. A 20 oz bottle of Chevron Techron with a fill-up will also slow down the crud. As for oil check out Valvoline Protect and restore. I would like to know if it will melt one's plastic manifold too.

All manufacturers are having problems hiring techs. All the kids want to be management.

If you like KYB, you will love Bilstein. Now if they had Koni for my ST....... FYI the High pressure gas shock helps tame the spring. It fools your butt into thinking you have a softer ride from "sport springs". The downside is, it is easy to die on a wash-board dirt road due to loss of control! It was a local trip for me to the KYB when I lived in Cali. I had all kinds of KYB stuff.

I have had mine (2022 ST) replaced already (AGM) in less than 1 year. From reading all over, it appears that there were a bunch of bad ones for that model. My date of production was 11/22 and replacement 8/23!

I assumed the OP does not have a lift so I was offering a simple DIY for a quick help. As you know, most people can't tell where most sounds originate (F/R L/R). On most client's claims of sound origins, I would Inspect the exact opposite corner first. In a higher percentage of times, they were wrong thus cutting my time and the $$$ they spent with me! (WIN WIN) With these cavernous insides of these Edges, put the seats down and boy do they get LOUD! For years, I did Rattles,Squeaks and Bitches with "Grandma's Grocery List" a mile long! I have ridden all over a car in search of a client's satisfaction of a noise elimination. From riding in the back seat ( aahhh heating and A/C in the right season), multiple trunk rides for several miles inside and outside, clinging for life in the hood was the most scary! But, I never tried holding on with a stethoscope!🤣

I'll have to disagree! This is why one keeps "Old Farts" around! Sometimes during transport on the trains along time ago, we learned wheel bearings can be pounded down and create a divot on the race where the roller pounded on it and 1 roller not round! You can't feel it but, you sure can hear it!

Have you done a factory rest yet ? Soft is Power and seek up buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds (>>I seek up button) Or, do a master reset from general settings of the radio menu.
