Cars & Transportation - 11 October 2006

I know Jeeps are not known for a smoothe ride, but mine has gotten worse.

I had this problem before with the Goodyear tires it came with, and was told it was the tires.

I changed the tires and for the most part, the problem went away.

It's starting to come back.

This is a different kind of shake than just going over bumps and the whole Jeep bouncing around. This actually feels like, through the steering wheel, like the front end is shaking loose.

It can't be the tires, these have been rotated every 3000-5000 miles, and this problem started before the new tires.

The Jeep place changed out the stablizer the first time, but this did not help.

What causes this?!?!

I need an online repair manual, preferably Chilton's, that is free to view on the internet. Any links to that would be appreciated. I can't seem to find any of this stuff just by browsing. Also, I need to find out the parts number for the gasket set by FELPRO for a sb 305. Nothing else will substitute, FELPRO only. Any links to that site would be great. Thanks for any response.

I have a 2003 VW Beetle, and recently the EPC light has been going off. We have taken it in 3 times and they keep saying there is a problem with the break switch and they replace it. But now on the fourth time, I am wondering if it could be anything else. They have replaced it again and it is working fine for now, but just for future reference.
Your help is greatly apreciated.
Thanks!

i have an 01 pontiac aztek. recently i had the converter changed on it. now it's making a "whisting" sound when i apply gas to it and i'm getting horrible gas mileage. i was getting like 20 to 25 in town with it before and now it's dropped down to about 5, seriously. the dealership is picking it up tomorrow to have it fixed, but i want to know what could possibly be causing this, so they don't try to cheat me or ignore me.

Happened as I was exiting an empty parking lot and a minivan was entering and turned into me, hitting my rear driver's side door. The guy admitted it was his fault and he would pay for the damages. I got his name, business card, driver's license #, and license plate. He then said it is my choice whether to report it and claim it through my insurance. I said we can resolve this without involving them. No cops were involved. I told him I will draft a brief letter (indicating that he will be willing to pay for the damages) and have him sign i tomorrow. He was ok with that, and we went off on our merry ways. He seemed genuine to me, but of course, that means nothing. So my questions are:

1 - did I do the enough in this situation?
2 - Should I report the accident to the Collision Reporting Centre?
3 - If I do report it, are they going to contact my insurance co.?
4 - Any other advice you can give me?

I'm in the market for a new vehicle and am hoping to find out which companies (specifically interested in Toyota, Chevy and Ford) typically have the best incentives and when? Should I hold off now and wait until late December to save money on a brand new 2006?

This a thermodynamic question from a chapter on specific heats, entropy & adaibatic-processes: "Commerical jet aircraft fly at cruising altitudes between 30,000 & 40,000 ft. Yet such aircraft carry heat exchangers to cool cabin air while flying at these altitudes. (a) Estimate the air temperature at which jet aircraft fly. (b) Explain why it is necessary to cool cabin air at cruising altitudes. Hint: The ratio of the heat capacities of air at constant pressure and volume is about 1.4." I alrealy have the answer to (a). It's 181 Kelvins. I need help with (b). Even if you could just give me a verbal answer for why airplanes have to cool their cabins and hence pressurize them would be helpful. Thanks.

i have a credit score of 678 on transunion and 672 on experian. the problem i have is my equifax score is 622. all the information on all 3 reports is identical, but the scores are insanely different.

I read that equifax is most commonly used in auto loans and this is going to be a huge problem for me. how can i get an auto lender to pull my report with transunion or experian and not equifax? or how can i find out which lenders only use transunion or experian?

I've had my liscense for about 10 months now and hate my picture. Is there any way I can go back in and get it re-done? I was thinking I'd either:

A) Get it renewed - but I don't know if I can do that since I've only had it 10 months
B) Say I lost it, lol. - but I think they store pictures on the computer system, so I'm afraid they'd just issue me the same exact liscense with the same photo
C) Get a photo ID, but I'm not sure if they'll use the same photo as my liscense or I'd take a new one.

So has anybody retaken their photo here in California, and how'd you do it? THANKSS

Long story short, In an auto accident. Not at fault. I have hired an attorney. Today I found out that the handful of bills that the Third Party did pay was submitted to MY insurance company by the Third party to be reimbursed. And now, My insurance company is claiming that they paid these bills and put a lien on my settlement for the amount they paid. This doesn't make sense to me. I didn't submit any bills to my own insurance. I paid stuff out of pocket the first few trips to the doctor and since then every thing else has been sent to our health insurance. My Insurance company wasn't any help to us at all. I did all the leg work to get things done for repairs to my car. They haven't handled anything for me. I do NOT want to pay them a penny. I plan to talk to my attorney. I just wanted some sort of info ahead of time. Can they do this? And why would they reimburse the third party like that?

I'm buying a new car but it has to be second-hand. I've heard that if you buy a car that is 5 or 6 years old that you run the risk of things starting to go wrong with it as it is about this time with most cars that part replacements are needed. If this is true, is it worth my while, spending a bit more and buying a car that is 2 or 3 years old instead? or is it possible to buy a 5 or 6 year old car without running into major problems. Any advice appreciated and thanks!
