I jacked up my where the rear suspension connects to the frame/trunk.The reason why I say frame/trunk is because i think Honda's don't have a frame, just a unibody. Anyway, the car leans to the left now and pulls hard to the right. Do any exerienced Honda mechanics know what the damage is and about how much it's gonna cost to fix it?

Does anyone know if my car (1995 Olds. Achieva, 3.1 V6 OHV 12 valve, Front-Wheel Drive) have a fail-safe cooling system? Over the past summer, I went to diagnose my radiator fan motor. To access that, I had to drain the coolant, remove radiator hoses, disconnect the high-pressure line of the A/C that connects to the condenser, and disconnect the ground of the fan relay. And Last, I disconnect the pigtail wire which leads from somewhere in the engine, possibly the PCM or Coolant sending unit. I don't know, for some reason, I just went to start the car and the car wouldn't start whatsoever. There was no cranking sound. The point is, do my car have a fail-safe cooling system? Or does the pigtail wire, fan relay ground, and coolant sending unit have anything to do with restricting current to the starter? This was tried out before I put back all the coolant, high-pressure line and fan motor together. Anyone with an ASE background or know a lot about cars is welcome to answer my question.

My van has a cracked windshield. It is expected to freeze Wednesday or Thursday. I do not have a garage. Will the freeze cause the windshield to bust or crack more? I can't replace it. What can I do? I can't park it anywhere else.

I have a 2004 camry, 22k now, I have not touched and paid attention to any liquids under the hood since bought it. Recently I heard some fluid flowing noise under the dashboard and someone told me could be low in coolant due to air trapped in the heater core. Then I found the coolant level is below the minimal level. My question is that if coolant can be depleting during these 3 years under normal condition? I did not see any sign of leaking at this point.

I was changing the fuel filter on my 97 Chev Venture when I notice a plastic black bushing toward the end of the fuel line that goes from engine to the fuel filter, I was told to remove it and after I hooked up everything my engine only stayed running for about a minute after that, the engine shut off and wouldn't start again. If that bushing need to be replace what is it called.

I know this is a very general question. The car is a 99' Saab 9-5 2.3l low pressure turbo w around 170k miles. I just bought the car (cheap) and im not sure where the leak is coming from yet. So im not expecting a real in depth answer. Thanks in advance.

I replaced the wires and ditributor cap and roter but still does it when wet out. It contiues to spuder until it warms up all the way. The check engine soon light flashes until it is warmed up and then it just stays on without flashing. I smell the gas if I keep trying to start it and eventually it starts runing on a couple of cylinders and then eventually all start firing.

My son has a 1992 Lexus ES 300. He needs new struts and strut mounts. Obviously that is expensive, especially since its Christmas. I have found used on EBAY the whole...I believe its referred to as the strut arm...it has the strut and large spring etc..I have found both of those including the mount for a really good price.
Can some of you mechanics out there tell me if theres any way to visually know if the used strut arm is "ok" BEFORE I buy it..or does it have to be on the car first? Also if you were me would you use the used mounts or would you at least put new mounts? Is there a way of visually knowing if the mounts are ok?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. He wants $120 for it all which to me seems reasonable??

I had the radiator cleaned,then to find the fan doesnt kick in when engine is hot.I am told with these cars the fan is of major importance for cooling.I can drive about 6km from cold before it overheats.(If I keep going this way I am sure I will crack the head!).Also a fuse appears to be missing in the fuse link from the battery terminal(it is the fan fuse).I have a basic 1992 1.3 litre model(Australian) and I realise not all fuses are needed in this one,but is the fan fuse?I would just put one in but it is a big fuse ,a type i have never seen-and I have no idea of the cost.Could it be some wiring that is a common problem with these cars that is causing the fan not to work,or is it just a dead fan?The rest of the cooling system seems fine.no oil in radiator or water in oil.Exhaust is clear,and engine runs smoothly.I would appreciate any advice.-----Give me a Toyota anyday LOL!!!(and a RWD! LOL even harder)
