I started seeing odd feathering and inner-edge wear on the rear tires of my front-wheel-drive SUV after about 30,000 miles. It looked like the rear was being punished for something the front was doing. If you’ve noticed similar wear...
Lane-keep assist (LKA) can be a real lifesaver — when it works. I’ve driven cars where the system gently keeps you centered in the lane and others where it nudged the wheel for no reason at all, which is unnerving on highways. If your car’s...

I’ve tested and repaired plenty of cars in my own garage, and I’ve learned that the battery pack is the single most important — and most expensive — component in a used electric vehicle (EV). If you’re shopping for a pre-owned EV, the big...
I get a lot of questions from readers about catalytic converters for older diesel pickups — especially which aftermarket choices are both legal and dependable. I’ve spent time wrenching on older trucks, coordinating repairs with shops, and...
