what’s a combobulator?

Try getting your car recombomulated instead. A fair bit cheaper, and works 60% of the time, every time.

Good to know how to recombobulate your car on your own though, especially if your combobulator breaks

TacitRonin20@reddit

It's a component that keeps your car from becoming discombobulated. A discombobulated car is unsafe at anything even close to highway speeds. You'll probably have to have it towed.

LMAO Bro this is the golden comment. I laughed this for a solid 5 mins

It’s the part that mates to the retro encabulator. I think Rockwell has some educational stuff if you look up retro encabulator.

I think you need to read up on your engineering. I would suggest starting with logarithmic casings.

He will probably mount Static Dummy Amulsified Sensors like those ricers. But that only masks the real issue.

[-]

Yeah it could be that the baseplate has gone bad. If I recall correctly it was made of prefamulated ammulite, and the way the 2 spurving bearings are surmounted to the logarithmic case makes it really hard to replace. So more often than not, you have to replace the entire unit. Which explains the $9k estimate.

And don’t forget about those pesky waneshafts. You don’t want those buggers to side fumble.

Came here to say this same thing. Those doggone spurving bearings. But you explained much better than I could have.

[-]

If the spurving bearings don't get you that darn drawn reciprocation dingle arm will, every time.

I hope the original poster isn't a genuine dingleberry

I remember when we used to hand tune combobulators with a flat head screwdriver and a mechanical pen spring. Completely lost art now that they have angle sensors below the ammulites.

WhiteBeltKilla@reddit

Honestly $9k is decent, my thingy majigs kept going on mine. I think it was actually a recall but i cant remember

[-]

OutsideAd3064@reddit

9k is a steal! Either your guy has a cheap source or you're getting a reconstituted combobulator.

It stores and applies blinker fluid

There is no such thing. They are ripping you off. Take your car to a different shop or mechanic immediately. For them to even say this to you means they are criminals.

You're being scammed

but i can’t find it anywhere😭

Go watch Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.

[-]

Tabbykittycat59@reddit

Yeah because you are getting scammed! It's not real.

[-]

charliemike@reddit

Because it’s not a thing.

Ixiiion@reddit

it fluctuates your congrometal vectors inside the air chamber

brik55@reddit

What you really need is a turbo encabulator.

[-]

dababy407@reddit

It’s connected to the tarbinator

[-]

Imaginary_Weird6027@reddit

Never buy a remanufactured recombobulator. The Spurving bearings are not always rebuilt out of the ammulite like they should be and sometimes are out of tolerance having a direct impact on the turboencabulator as well as making the blinker fluid boil from built up residual heat.

I will check my garage, I may have a set you can have
