I recently had to have both lower control arms replaced on my front end and I am not happy with the result so I need to educate myself enough that the mechanic cannot bully me and scape goat his responsibility…. First thing I noticed immediately upon starting my van was a noise I can only...

Hey guys, 2nd post related to this in the first I hit dead ends so after going to the shop again I thought I’d fly I’ve it another try in here before I dish out more money. I’ve got a shaking/vibration from my front end specifically the right side. It starts anywhere from 30-50 and you feel like...

Hi everyone, New to the forum here and needing some help. I just got a quote for $2,620 worth of work done on the front end of my newly inherited truck. Here are the parts they listed out: Front Inner Steering Tie Rod E ($208.20) Front Outer Steering Tie Rod E ($221) Steering Pitman...

They said the drive shaft alone is $2160 because there are only 4 available in the US. We have a 1992 Previa with just over 200K, so I want to invest in it but this seems like an outrageous price. Does this sound accurate and fair? I was expecting around $1000. Thanks! Kate

Our 2009 RAV4 front wheel drive has a roaring noise in the front end at speed that sounds like a wheel bearing failing as the pitch of the noise is directly proportional to the speed of the truck. I have put a stethoscope on the bearing housings while the vehicle was jacked and the wheels were...

Hello, My 2000 echo recently received hail damage and needs new headlights and bonnet. The only one being wrecked in my area is a 2003 model with slightly different headlights but it is the same colour. Does anyone know if I can swap the bonnet/grill/front bar/quarter panels and headlights...

Hey guys, I'm trying to track down (or figure out how to eliminate) what might be causing this clunk in the front end on my 2002 V8 2WD. I can feel the clunk with a foot that's on the floorboard when it happens. It feels like it's right under the driver (left side) floorboard. Does not seem to...

I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander, FWD, 4 cyl, automatic, 244k miles, original owner. I have a noise which I will describe in a minute but first some info on recent work done so you know where the car stands. The noise existed BEFORE I did these things. New complete strut assemblies all around...

Hi TN, My friend rear ended into someone's car and the air bags deployed ( Lucky he didnt get flying sharp projectiles since the airbags have not be replaced by the recall). So I bought the car from him for cheap. The car runs pretty strong and everything seems to be fine ( only has 110K...

1998 tacoma extended cab 4 cylinder, 150k miles. Just noticed a huge amount of wear on the inside of the drivers side front tire - no tread left. The passenger side looks fine. It steers ok - doesn't pull to one side or the other. I checked for loose ball joints - jacked it up and pried...

I know next to nothing about cars, so any input on this would be a major plus. I was all freaked out in stop-go traffic when a guy cut the guy ahead of me off @ ~10mph. As you can imagine, breaks were squealing and I was following just a bit too close. I bought my Corolla from my dad last year...

I have read plenty of articles and forums on the topic of the two cars being near identical in part compatibility. I have a 93 Geo Prizm and I notice that the Corolla hood is almost flush with the grill where as the Prizm's hood seems to fold down a bit farther. Is it as simple as swapping for a...

Please help. When I drive on low speeds on a bumpy road or over gravel it clunks and sounds like metal hitting metal, however the noise stops when I apply the brakes. Even if i just press the brake pedal slightly. What could this be?? Could something be loose or messed up bushings? I took of the...

For years My 1991 Toyota pickup 4x4 5-speed extended cab has a horrendous tin can like rattle coming from the front end. The rattle only occurs when going between 5-20 miles per hour, in gear and out of gear, gets worse around corners, and also over bumps. I have taken it to multiple mechanics...

2004 Tacoma 4x4 V6 TRD Pkg. I have been starting to do some of my own maintenance recently and have come across a "mysterious tube" on the top of the front differential. The reason that it gives me any concern is it looks like the tube is disconnected. That is there are two tubes, one with a...

I know a guy who is willing to sell me Hood, headlights, corner lights, bumper w/ fog lights, fenders, grill, and radiator support for really cheap and i was wondering if this swap was even possible on a mx83 cressida 89-92. i really want this front end on my car. any info would help. :thumbsup:

Yesterday when driving I heard a loud noise and immediately got a grinding / squealing noise coming from the front drivers side of my 99 Corolla. I changed out the front drivers pads, rotors, and caliper. No change. The noise happens even at low speeds and the car seems undrivable. The...

Hi guys.... I have a 2000 Camry, 4 cyl. It was in an accident on the front right before I bought it. I took it to Sears for alignment and 4-6 adjustments were made to pull it to within spec. One evidently is not correctable (the caster). After I bought it and after the alignment, I replaced the...

Well, I didn't attempt driving yesterday after an ice storm hit Dallas/Ft.Worth Monday night. Today, however, I succumbed to the "black ice" on the freeway, spun out, hit the median, etc. They don't budget for sand trucks here, so everything's still pretty treacherous. The extent of the...
