Auto Repair Chemicals<\/p>\n
Generally I tend to be skeptical of the whole solutions in a bottle section of the auto parts store. However, I have had a couple of major success recently that has changed my mind.<\/p>\n
First was my shop lift. It had a horrible screech every time it went up and down. It was worse with heavier vehicles and I got to where I was scared to lift my Suburban. I was doing research on where to buy replacement sliders when I did some more careful listening to where the noise was coming from. I pinpointed the noise to the chain roller. A couple of shots of WD-40 totally eliminated the noise. I can\u2019t believe I had been putting up with his noise for six months and it was eliminated with a quick shot of WD-40.<\/p>\n
Next, I noticed that my High mileage Jeep Cherokee was a bit sluggish when putting it into reverse each morning. I changed the fluid and filter but that did not help. On the advice of a mechanic friend I tried a bottle of Trans-X. As usual, I was skeptical, but a few days after adding the chemical, my Jeeps transmission was acting normal again. Certainly a good way to spend $10.<\/p>\n
After these two successes, I decided to try a bottle of Lucas stop leak on my very leaky power steering pump seal. I really was not in the mood to change the pump and it howled every morning when cold and lost a lot of fluid through the seal. Just half a bottle of Lucas completely stopped the leak and within a couple of days the howl was gone as well.<\/p>\n
I still don\u2019t believe in the claims of an engine rebuild in a can or some of the other exaggerated claims, but in the right circumstances, some of the auto repair chemicals are well worth their money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
