It seems that this time of year yields lots of these 1/8-inch-by-10-inch springy sticks. Q: Is there a time (in years) or mileage when flexible brake hoses should be replaced. A: No, but all brake lines, including the steel lines, should be inspected during every brake job. Q: Your recent article about a "windshield magnet" really angered me. I have had many windshields cracked from trucks without mudguards that have open beds with debris falling out or stones piled over the top. Trucks, trailers and 4x4s drive with impunity and totally disregard the hazards they leave behind, because the police do not enforce the laws. The laws address covering your load and securing debris, but they are never enforced. blame the place where the debris comes from — the careless trucks and SUVs. Maybe it is the rake of the glass, maybe it is the shape of the vehicle's frontal area. We never implied that windshields could pluck stones from the ground. Source: www.chicagotribune.com
