I recently had new brake pads installed on my 02 Buick Rendezvous and they squeak and occasionally even make a grinding sound. What is causing this? The squeak is almost everytime I break but the grinding sound has only happened once or twice. Help!

ok...I work at a shop at school and I pulled this code from the computer "P1899 MFR CONTROLLED TRANSMISSION" i'm not to good with transmissions other then I think it means that the transmission doesn't know what gear it's in. I just need back-up on this if I'm right.....also my reverse lights don't work and It might have some link to it? help out please. :-)

Some clown put a vinyl adhesive sticker (a big one) on my hood at a concert last night (06' Acura TL). I peeled it off today (in the heat..not smart), but the glue is still on the paint. Any suggestions on how to remove it without ruining the finish?

My '04 Civic LX Sedan's OEM tire size is 195/60-15.
I like these wheels:
http://www.rotawheels.com/p45r.php
http://www.rotawheels.com/grid.php

I'm thinking of going P45R 18 x 9.5 +30 4h x 114.3 in the rear, and P45R 18 x 8 +? 4h x 114.3 in the front. What would be the effects of different width tires as far as performance? I'd go 9.5 width in the front as well, but would it interfere with the turn radius of my car?

Or should I just simplify it and go with the Grid 17 x 7.5 +40/+45 4h x 114.3 on all 4?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I got into a car accident the other day and had quite a bit of asthetic damage. I was wondering whether or not a body shop would be willing to put on parts that I have from my parts car. For example, if I have a bumper, will a body shop put that part on for me. I really don't want to have to get new parts for this car.....please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

**Question, will body shops use your parts (non-mechanical) if you ask them to?**

Thanks. :)

95 dodge avenger es 2.5l V6. I changed the abs hydraulic pump but because the nuts were too thighten I had to cut the lines off and after I double flared them and connected them, they are still leaking (between the nut and the line). I made the flare with the right tool several times but I don't know what I'm missing. I never had such a hard time with my car. Those who don't have experience, please don't answer telling me to take my car to a repair shop (I already know that choice). I'm looking for the answer of an experienced brake worker. The lines that leak are the ones that go to the wheels not the two ones that connect the master cylinder with the abs pump.

This is a basic example of what I explain in my answers. By taking your $25,000 04 mustang cobra and swaping out your stock eaton supercharger for a $3,500 kenne bell or whipple you can smoke an $80,000 2007 corvette Z06. Watch the end of the video, the driver of the vette actually "bows down" to the cobra driver.

I'm told that I can't put a negative offset with my FWD 2004 civic. Why is this, or can I? I would think it would just push the wheels outward, but would this reduce my turning radius?

Also, can someone tell me the offset of OEM wheels for my 2004 Civic LX Sedan? I looked, but couldn't find it on the tires.

So, I was driving home, when a girl came speeding around the corner in my apartment complex on the wrong side of the road. Long story short, it got ruled 100% her fault. Now I ended up doing 6 months of chiropractic visits and 2 months of physical therapy. I don't feel different and I am going to have permanant back and neck damage (not severe just not comfortable to be on my feet a long time, sleep, or do strenuous activities, I'm a Chef). That's not it. My wife was about 37-38 weeks pregnant, and we went to a doctors visit a couple hours after the accident. She wasn't in the car, but freaked out when she heard the accident and came out of the apartment and saw it was me. The doctor diagnosed her with preeclamsia (high stress during pregnancy) because of the accident and had to induce her that night. The drugs slowed the baby's heart rate, so they had to give a c-section. They only offered $3k to start and they say my wife doesn't matter because she wasn't in the car. suggestions?

The ac doesnt click on and the rpm's don't elevate when I turn it on. I popped the hood and there are two fans...one on the left (if your looking down from front) turns on, but doesn't blow cold air. I live in FL and we had flooded roads and I am not sure if its the reason but I had some water wash up my hood a couple times coming from work. Now no cold air. I looked at the fuse box underneath the steering wheel but the diagram said nothing about the ac or a compressor which a mechanic friend told me to check. I had no idea about the fuse box underneath the hood so I will check on that. I am just hoping its a blown fuse because I don't really wanna spend a bunch on fixing the ac. I hope this might help you help me. Thanks again for the help.

I read the engine seperated from its pylon, and flipped over the wing, severing the Hydraluic lines, and when the pilot selected retract, the slats and flaps could not, and gradually moved all the way "Down/out" causing aysmmetric thrust and the crash. Have newer aircraft fixed that design, or does a loss of pressure cause the Flaps and Slats to extend, needed or not? It was a DC-10-10,1979 was the year. What are the usual check offs for a such a catastrophic loss (physical that is, the engine has departed the wing) in such a situation?

Everyday I see people cut other people off who are slowing down for a red light. They drive up behind them so fast, change lanes and pull in front of the slowing car, just to halt to a complete stop at the red light. What is it that makes people do this? The light's red and they can't go anywhere.
