my civic dx squeaks like a mother everytime i drive around..it's always squeaking.
when i go over some potholes and bumps you can imagine it 10x's more squeakier. the sound is driving me insane!

my friend asked me how i could stand all the squeaking, i told him i got used to it after awhile..but now i'm starting to go mad.

all this started to happen after i installed some skunk2 coilovers w/the little sleeve and tokico illuminas (whites).
(these struts can be adjusted 5 ways, but i only have them on '3' so they aren't that stiff or soft either way.)

the car is lowered by about 2.75 inches, low, but not that low..at least my headers aren't scraping the ground.

i tried spraying random parts underneath my car with wd-40 and lubed up some joints with some grease and as far as i can tell, the sound comes from all 4 sides and not just 1 area.
needless to say, the grease and the wd-40 did NOT work at all.

my friend tells me that it's my bushings

Once in a while the car wont turn over, but if I give it a nudge from behind, it'll start.

One would think that the new bridge would make for a faster commute from Gig Harbor, Port Orchard, etc to Tacoma or Seattle. But! It's going to be a toll bridge...which will make for slow going.

So...will it be a faster commute or slower?

My car is front wheel drive and I thought it was a brake issue but when I took the wheel off, the hub seemed to have more wiggle than I thought it should have(I think it should have none). Had I realized this before going home I would have taken it somewhere to fix it. unfortunately I drove home (miles from NOWHERE). I am too far from anyone to have it towed. I have heard the wheel can seperate from the car in rare instances. Is this common for front wheel drive fords? Can I limp it the 70 miles to get a part and then the 85 miles to a shop to have it replaced? I am in a no option position I only have the one car and recently moved to the area so I know no one to drive me to pick up the part. what can I do to get this part fixed? Is it possible to remove the steering knuckle and hub assembly off the strut with something other than a brass, lead or shot filled hammer??

I just returned a 2003 Honda Accord and my lease payment was about $300 per month after amortizing the downpayment and disposition fee. I want to lease another new full-sized car comparable to an Accord or Camry. I'm also considering Altima, Sonata, Optima, and US makes like Malibu or Fusion.

I currently see Honda advertises $199 per month (on their website) plus about $3700 at closing. That works out to about $300 per month. Nissan has a similar offer for the Altima. What should I expect to pay and how would you find the best deal? Internet, walk-in, third-party, what?

My car was in an accident and I haven't started it in awhile (1.5 months) because I lost my license and moved it into my grandmother's garage because my street has city parking. I bought the car in September, a 1995 ford escort and the battery was only 3 months old. So today I started it for the sake of starting it and no ignition sound, no nothing. Is my battery dead? What caused it to die? Wat else could be wrong with my vehicle? This is soo frustrating, because now I can't even take it to be repaired.

I was rearended today and saw no damage to my car or my body though I was thrown forward. After looking at my car, I walked over to the person who rearended me. She didn't even get out of the car. She just rolled down her window and said "I'm sorry" At that moment I saw nothing I could "hold her on" I thought if there was damage to the car then yes, take the information but if not, guess there is no problem. It was my first accident and wasn't thinking quite clearly. All I had in the back of my head was the ad on the radio or tv on allstate insurance - the longer period of time you are not in an accident the more coverage or money they give you.... though I don't have Allstate I just thought if you didn't report it it won't hurt anyone. But it could hurt me in the end if I end up with whiplash and Chiroprator visits to pay... I was more tryin to figure out what had just happened. My back is starting to ache and hope I do not have whip lash :( Any advice?
