the trick is to just run them until the indicator light comes on.

Yeah, you can't check the wheel bearings on these like an older car. I've gone as far as pulling the rotor off and it would feel fine but you could hear/feel it through the wheel when driving.

New bearing ordered from Rockauto. Disgusting how even after import it's 1/3 the price from Canadian suppliers.

A painful TIL. I'm paying a shop to deal with these, and I ordered some rears so they can deal with those as well.

The rears seem to last way longer than the fronts. I have been through a bunch of fronts but no rears.

270k km, and the car will already be on their lift. Just get it done all at once, plus then someone else deals with the rear axle nuts -.-

Did you order new axle nuts too? They don't like being restaked. They also always seem to realign with the old stake point, I believe they are single start but I haven't checked.

Yep. Subaru to the rescue.

Vinegar usually is a good deterrent for pets. Especially cats, but TIL that my cat LOVES vinegar.

Today I learned I don't mind typing that out.

Also, I learned that the windshield wiper on the Lotus actually does a great job.

I go for a little drive for some gas station sushi. It is 75° and not a cloud in the sky. On the way home I stop at the restaurant supply, and when I come out is cloudy, windy, and starting to rain.

Idaho. Don't like the weather, wait an hour.

Does your cat also like ammonia? I used to use it for keeping cats out of my garden. Worked well.

We don't usually keep chemicals of that sort around the house since the cat doesn't really get into places she's not supposed to.



The whole vinegar thing kind of came sot of random one day, if we ever ordered take-out sandwiches, and it came with salt and vinegar chips, she would really try to get her head inside the bag and lick the chip. No other flavor interested her. She also loves, loves blue cheese dressing, and bacon.



I had the bottle of vinegar out because I was cleaning my foam cannon for sediment buildup. I turn around and saw her really going to town with the lid. So it solidified our theory that she really loves vinegar. Even though it is said to be used to deter cats from places.

My niece has developed a taste for expensive designer flavored balsamic vinegar.
Uses it like BBQ sauce on everything. Maybe your cat would appreciate it too
