My car was parked at a park and some *** drove into back of my car while i was away. My car is chrysler cirrus 1997 and fairly mint condition. Insurance company says that it costs more to fix my car than its value and said they want to pay me $4,000. Fine, my car wasn't new but it was doing its job well and i feel that $4,000 is not enough for me to buy any decent car like mine. I am furious. Any suggestion??? I am not familar with this. Please give me some suggestions!!!

I had the U-joints replaced last year which solved the problem temporarily. Problem started back this summer and is getting progressively worse. Took it to the shop and they said that my U-joints were fine, but that it could be my rear differential going bad. So they checked it and said it needed to be replaced, so I paid them $800 to put in a new master rear end kit. Left the shop and the problem still persisted. The sound happens when I let completely off the brakes, it sounds like metal grinding on metal. It also happens when the truck comes to a complete stop and settles. It is very annoying and very loud. I can replace the U-joints myself, but don't want to spend the money if that won't fix the problem. Are there any other places I should check other than the u-joints and the rear diff. Like the struts, rear wheel bearing, broken leaf spring? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I had a funny smell in my H2. When I opened the hood, I noticed that the battery was smoking. I had the battery replaced and the charging system checked. The guy at the goodyear place told me that the volt meter (I think) was reading a 14.2. Is a 14.2 normal?????

I have had the car up on the rack and i can't seem to see anything that would adjust the camber on it. I have average machanic skills nothing special. Is there something i am missing? Is it all strut based? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

all these urgent environmental disasters, like global warming,
and people are still not doing anything about it!
did you know that an average car in the U.S. driven 10,000 miles in one year releases 5.5 tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
the survival of our SPECIES is at stake......the WORLD is at stake.
you would think that those automakers would try to make their cars more Environment-friendly.
yay for hybrids!

My battery keeps going dead. Ive been to AutoZone and checked the battery, and they said its fine. They said the alternator was only putting out 1 amp, so I replaced it along with the cables, but the battery keeps going dead after a few days. Ive had the battery checked twice and they suggested I didnt need a new one. I checked the ground when replacing the cable. Does anyone have any ideas why this keeps happening? Even when the battery is fully charged, the engine cranks quite a bit and produces a whine and takes 4 seconds or so to start, which has never been an issue. I dont know if this is related though.
