I have a 2002 Elantra GT with 76k mi. I just had it inspected this weekend and the mechanic told me everything looks good and that there is nothing he could see that I need to keep an eye on.

A friend of mine was in the car the yesterday and told me that he could hear a clank when I hit large bumps in the road and thought my rear struts were going. I also notice that when I accelerate or decelerate frequently in Manhattan traffic I can hear a small squeak coming from rear of the car.

I did some research online but don't notice any of the tell-tale bounciness I should be on the look out for. Does it sound like I new struts/shocks? Is there a better way to check?

Thanks for your help.

I went to get an oil change for my 2005 Focus and the mechanic said he changed my air filter. I just recently got my latest oil change and this mechanic told me that my Focus has no air filter! That I have a differnt type of filter which needs to be changed everything 10,000 miles.

Where can I find a good website that'll give me the 411 on my car so that I don't get jipped when I go to the mechanic again? Is there a website that tells you the basic "need to know" about car maintenance?

It's a picture of one. Any help on how to spell and how I could possibly get away with hi-jacking one?

Edmunds lists the invoice price as $20,006, and the MSRP as $21,725. Many car dealers list a huge mark-up price, up to $5900. I know that the mark-up price is negotiable but I want to know the extent to which I shd negotiate for a good deal. If there's anyone in the bay area, who has bought one recently, please let me know the base price you paid (and the mark up price). Advice and tips highly appreciated! Thanks

The engine light on my dodge intrepid about 2 weeks ago. I drive it only when necessary, because right now I'm waiting to start my new job before I have it brought in. Basically, once the car hits highway cruise mode then slows down I get a helluva shift shock then the RPMs shoot through the roof. If I turn the car off and restart then problem is remedied. Is there anything I can do or is this nothing more than a needed transmission rebuild/replace?
