2000 Accord-- rt side fan comes on when AC turned on, left side fan
doesn't work at all. Is it most likely the fan motor? Are the fans
supposed to run at the same time? Any troubleshooting tips?

Thanks

Hey everyone,

The Civic service manual recommends, in its maintenance schedule for the
1997 model, a 30,000 mile change interval for MT oil; the change
interval is exactly the same as for the AT and the CVT.

However, for the 1996 and the 1998 models, it does not
call for a MT oil change until 90,000 miles.

Huh?

Inspect the rear suspension.

You may have a worn/nonexistent rubber bushing in the upper control arm
or trailing arm, and so you hear metal-on-metal clanging when the
suspension moves.

Before even removing the wheel to take a look, shake it
side to side. When the bushings aren't there, there is free play.

Worn suspension components are a potential safety issue since
they affect the overall handling of the car.
