What is this, and are they related? Grinding seemed very "deep" and sounded awful! I had to drive over 200 miles on it today for work (mainly highway) and could not pull over because I would have been stuck in the middle of nowhere!

The car is a 2001 Infiniti QX4; bought it brand new and never had any problems with it before. It has less than 50,000 miles on it.

I made a service appointment for Monday (about 15 miles away) and will not drive it till then. I'm worried about how much it will cost to fix, since the warranty has expired already. Hundreds? Thousands? Any info or insight on the problem and cost would be much appreciated. Thank you!

In some states the poor kid has to be 4'9". How embarrassing is that? Pretty soon they will force small adults to squeeze into a car seat. I wonder how much money some car seat manufacturer paid for this law. How does one check campaign contributions to those who voted this nonsense into law?

They must love it. Why? The Americans pay for the gas twice a week when they fill up. They complain but continue to buy and pay.

I saw a 1200 hp at wheels supra with a twin turbo,
But I read that twin turbos just provide boost in more
rpm ranges instead of more power in one range.
Which one is it?

I'm not sure why this happens. Can anyone explain? One mechanic said it was my engine mounts but he didn't do a thorough check so i'm not sure about what he's saying. If it were the engine mounts wouldn't my entire car be shaking when I was driving? This only happens when I turn on my air conditioning.

At my shop today, we got a customer with an ac issue, he spent 450 dollars on both ac lines and evac and recharge. On his way home from that shop, the ac quit blowing cold. He came to me today and requested for me to change the evaporator and expansion valve, I gave him a counter quote for 675.00 installed ( 96 Honda Accord ) 4 cyl. We did a temp check first, granted its 105 here in Arizona today, his temp out the vents was 80 at nine this morning when it was already over 90 outside. Gauges read correct, the other shop did put correct amount of freon in the vehicle. We turn the climate know left for cold, right to left, seems the doors are opening and closing. After we did what he requested, the temp was blowing 60-65 at initial start up then climbed to 70 (which is better than 80) but it still wasn't 50-55. What could the problem have been? I do have the answer but I want to hear what kind of shade tree information / input I get from this. Again the readings were perfect checked twice

Why would my oli pressure light come on only when coming to a fairly abrupt stop? I just had an oil change. It only happens when stopping quick or cornering quick.

I saw my son's bus driver take a photo of him while he was loading the bus. The camera was in the driver's lap and that is where I saw him push the button. He then slid the camera to the side out of sight. I have contacted all kinds of people with the school district but as of yet have no information on the matter. What would you do?

I have settled on buying either a 2006 Mercury Milan OR a 2006 Ford Fusion. I prefer the appearance of the Milan's TAIL, but love the GRILL of the Fusion. Alas, life's huge dilemmas. Anyway, I'd like input about which car is the better choice, and why. Thanks!

Is there a way not to remove the caliper but to swing it out of the way? If not. I see two bolts holding the caliper and brake shoe assembly in place are those the ones I need to remove the caliper. I know how to get the rotor off after that
. Thanks
