Earlier this year I had a hitch installed and was going fucking crazy because of vibrations that started afterward. I did everything I could to insulate between the hitch and the spare tire well it was gutted up against convinced that was what caused the rattle but eventually I emptied everything out and found this under the spare tire. You know what size it is. I would have been so embarrassed if I had a shop look into the rattle.

And no, I did not piss on the tire after I found it. But I shit my pants after a new wheel, tires, brake pads, a caliper, and threw in a new battery cuz why tf not at this point.

Not a professional repair shop or anything, but I think it fits? no-one should be driving with that :/
It still drove though… without knowing about it, I drove it to the town in the middle of the night to buy bread from the one bakery that opens at 3AM once. Only later was I told that the suspension was severely rusted.

there was a 5th piece, but I guess it fell off somewhere.

mom's car, me and dad were replacing the suspension coil (if I got the name of the part right… since translating car terms is terrible) on her +-2006 audi. I think it's an A4 B6? We had two audis but I forgot which was which.

The rear left coil was snapped near the top so it wasn't that bad, either way, we swapped both the read coils. The torture of not unscrewing much due to the rust build-up on a 4 wheel drive… EU salted roads. I think we used two separate crowbars to get new springs inside. Just imagine doing a standard repair but without a professional setup.

So the rear right side was being held up only by the rear left, front right, hopes, and dreams.

Isnt this one of the cutest smallest clutches you've ever seen in a car?

2025 Blazer (fat Camero) for tires. One of the rears had what I would call an extra rubber

1994 VT in for suspension, brake and headlight diagnostic, plus a service. Clio V6 back in our shop to refill the AC system and check fluids/alignment after it had the engine out and coilovers installed. Red car is waiting on parts, by the way. Cooler weather is back and cars are coming out of storage.

It all started when I got a complaint about my property so I bought this for $2,200 therefore I could clean up my yard before another fine (Only have one week left).

Customer is me. Pulled from my GSXR 600 doing routine maintenance. Bike started and ran great so you can imagine my face when I pulled these out the bike. Plugs are over due by about 1500 miles (9k miles on them) but I never thought they'd be this destroyed especially with no real symptoms/misfires. Anyway I poked my borescope in there and it looks good so hopefully the motor's fine.

Swear I torqued this guy to spec last time I did the oil a year ago.... guess not

Also if anyone has any tips let me know. Already tried vice grips, PB blaster, socket extractors, moderate heat.... at a loss and don't feel comfy drilling it out

Car had a 5 lug swap. Previous owner thought parking brake was adding too much weight, so deleated everything!

Haha huge chunk of metal stuck in the lube hole of this gear

Running some harnessing from the cab through the engine bay of a cat 793F haul truck, I'm almost 4mtrs off the ground here which leads to its own issues.

I’ve had a very slow air leak for a good 1.5 months or so, but could never see an obvious nail, screw, etc. Today I changed my oil and rotated my tires, and low-and-behold found this little prick buried in a groove.
