Regarding this question today asking for "car repair" newsgroups on: o
Titled: o Car repair newsgroup
The alt.home.repair ng also covers DIY auto repairs; but the trolls took over. o
Here's a recent thread, by way of example, on a.h.r for auto DIY questions: o Inspection and oil change
And another recent automotive (and home engine) related question: o Pure gas vs E85
But bear in mind, a.h.r. is almost unreadable due to the massive trolling. o Far better, IMHO, is a.h.r, where the trolls haven't infested it yet.

For example...
o Questions about mounting & balancing new LT tires on new steel rims at home (match mounting marks, red dots, yellow dots, & spacers)
o Ideas for a home alignment caster/camber wheel jig to lock to 14inch to 20 inch wheel rims
o Do you know of any good iOS or Android freeware apps that perform home alignment measurements & conversions?
o What 3D CAD freeware might work well for this simple DXF style drawing?
o Clare, Xeno.... did you ever have a batch of tires that just wouldn't seal after the final bead?
o How would you run a lateral acceleration test in a vehicle on twisty roads at no more than 40mph?
o Does the macadem road surface have a great effect on tire wear?
o Clare - are smaller car tires easier to balance than SUV tires?
o Just mounted & static balanced my 30th tire in about five years - saving over $400
o Two simple questions that came up when mounting tires at home
o What tools do I need? (P0420 Bank 1 catalytic inefficiency on a 15 year old dual-cat vehicle)
o Why can't people figure out warp versus runout versus disc thickness variation
