Lol, where I live I'm one of the quieter ones. There's always EVOs, subies, Rsxs, mustangs, and TCs with an exhaust driving around. And half of them live near me

So I installed my XM radio a couple nights ago. It's a Pioneer- I installed it under my driver seat. It's basically just a small metal box looking thing.
Anyway.. next day I drive my car and my TPMS light is on. WTF? I pull over to make sure and kick the tires, all feel fine. It's been pooring rain so I haven't checked pressure yet but I think they're fine. I'll do it tomorrow. Is there any way that XM Radio could be interfering with TPMS? |

Tape over the light... Those things suck! It's just a way for dealers to make cash. Your tire pressure should be checked regularly anyways, especially on an AWD vehicle.

Really stupid question... But as some of you know I installed my rsb yestarday and I just went for a drive in the hills, which is what I usually take to have my happy time... Well every turn I took the rear end felt like it was kicking up and I felt really scared as to what was happening, as the rear end felt like it was looking traction as it was "hopping" up. I understand the steering characteristics would change, but would it cause the cause to have its end hop up with the rsb installed?
I never experienced this without the rsb. |

Yeah I check my tire pressure all the time and have pump in the trunk. I went out to check and stupid dealer must have deflated my passenger rear tire when they took it off for NYS Inspection that day.
I run 35lbs front 34 rear.. that tire was 27.5 lbs. Those idiots always screw with my tire pressure, even when I just drove 12 miles to get there. They let air out of a hot tire to make it 32 lbs, then overnight it cools off and it settles at 27.5 cold. The stupid part is they only checked one tire! Idiots! They should know that a hot tire is supposed to have more than sticker on door. I still haven't driven it. I'm sure TPMS light will go off now. |

Had my power steering flushed yesterday. Notice a slight difference in steering wheel response. Going on 40k here soon. The fluid was fairly dark, and more so did it as a precaution because I got a good deal. Anyone else get theirs flushed yet?

26.5k miles on my '09. Going to flush brakes soon, I may do PS fluid after all the other 30 month maintenance is completed... Maybe by the end of summer.

Did you have a big temperature swing? If you are right on the cusp of the air pressure margin then a change of 10 degrees in air temp could drop the pressure in your tires. When you drive and they heat up, it could also make it go away.
Edit - Didn't see your post above where you found the low tire. Last edited by Ogden; 06-03-2012 at 11:20 PM. |

OBD, what size say bar did you install, and did you change the front? Most AWD cars run a bigger front bar and a smaller rear bar. That may have something to do with it. All of that said, if you are still on stock springs and struts, you may have just overdriven your suspension. |
