The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Why is it so hard to find car repair information on the Internet?

Asked by cuziyq in Miscellaneous, Puzzles & Riddles, Math & Science

OK, I am a computer geek who knows a few things about cars.

When I have a computer related question, there are a bazillion sites out there like EE here where I can freely find pretty much anything I want.  All I have to do is Google it.  Takes about 10 minutes to find the information you need if it's obscure, and about 30 seconds if it's common.

Now, when it comes to cars, I have a hard time finding a damn thing on Google.  I have a 1998 Dodge Caravan with a broken wheel stud.  I am totally comfortable with taking the rotor and caliper off and removing the wheel hub.  All I want is a friggin' diagram of the hub assembly before I get started so I can plan out how long it's gonna take and if I even have the right tools for it.  You'd think that information would be easy to find, right?

Good lord, I have been searching for an hour and found basically squat.  Are there no car people out there who know how to use a computer??  Has Mr. Chilton copyrighted every single car part diagram in existence?  Does Google have something against cars?  What's the deal?
