I have been told by my mechanic that the right front axle on my 1993 Acura Legend is broken. What are the symptoms of a broken axle? I feel slight vibrations at around 70mph and its only sometimes. What does a broken axle look like? (does a broken axle have any obvious indications that I can look at it to confirm its bad) do the rubber boots dry rot and split or is there normally a broken metal component?
Thanks in advance

Antifreeze is brown, always has been since we got the car ( have flushed it and changed it but it still goes back to that state), but lately its really thickening up, and becoming chunky, there isnt any water or antifreeze in the oil, and the oil lvl hasnt dropped or gone up, so I am not sure what is causing this to happen with the antifreeze, we took it into a place to see if they could flush out the system completely but they immediately said it was a blown head gasket and they wouldnt even bother to touch it, yet I always thought if the head gasket was blown there would also be water/antifreeze in the oil ,+ the liquid is like brown antifreeze, there are no oil streaks floating around in it... whats up with this?.. I am about to install a new radiator and thermostat as we speak, but I have it this torn apart I am wondering if I really should change the head gaskets..

My 96 F 150 over heated on me on my way to work. It has 270,000 miles. Engine was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago. I've tried two new thermostats, new water pump, new radiator, new coolant temp sensor. When the engine runs for a few minutes the oil pressure gauge climbs nearly to the H, as the temp gauge rises. The temp gauge climbs to H and bounces back and forth to normal, it shows hi temp before any heat from the heater. The heat starts to work good and the gauge continues to go hi and normal. Oil pres. gauge remains hi with little fluxuation. I haven't tried to drive it more than a couple miles but engine doesnt seem to act like it is overheated (outside temp is about 10 degrees). No coolant in oil or unusual amount of white smoke from exaust,Thought maybe head gasket blown. not sure what to try next. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreitate it. THANK YOU

knob that goes from blue to red (when I turn this knob there is no change in the temp.)or either the small AC button.(it seems to come on randomly, although it does NOT affect the temp.) I do have heat in the rear defroster. My dash is also a bit cracked so I'm thinking something may be loose in there! Thanks!!!

Hey

Had my 00 impreza RS for a few years now and its got 82 thousand miles. I am planning to replace exhaust and suspension. But when I took it into the garage they saw that the right head gasket was slightly leaking and the other one was pretty much fine. Just wondered if this is going to be a major issue? I have no power loss and haven't found any water/ oil on the floor. Do RS this age Head gaskets go aound this age? I haven't raced or ragged the car. Anyway the HG job will cost 2 grand apparently, also to make matters worse the clutch is slipping under acceleration so thats done. I was wondering which aftermarket clutch is good, obvious aint got major cash with all these bills but the stock exedy clutch is blantely Sh!t with everyone with an RS suffering clutch judder especially when its cold.

Everything with Labor prob cost like 5 grand so do u think I should get a WRX

We've decided not to put any more money into our 94 Honda civic - we've had her for less than one year! She has over 98,000 miles and had a bad overheating experience last year (completely our fault - it was our first car!). We've been told by two mechanics that the transmission is going. The shifting has been rough. We will keep her until she goes but I'm scared that if she breaks down it could be dangerous (fire?? stalling??). What usually happens when a transmission finally dies?

I have a '04 Pontiac Sunfire and yesterday while driving it, I noticed a difference how hard I had to push the gas pedal just to get it to go 25mph. It started making a noise as though it was struggling and a few minutes later the speedometer stopped working. It has never had any problems before and I am the second owner and do nothing out of the ordinary with it. Please help!

I got a flat tire and need to replace one. I was told by a mechanic that I needed to get the one from the same manufacture.
I have 215-R60/16 of continental tire but I thought that I can get anyone's as long as the size is same. Isn't it ?

The transmission on my 01 stratus all of a sudden just quit working with out any warning? I can start the car and act as I am shifting through all gears, it just does nothing. I drained the fluid(it was clean as could be). It does make a noise like it would be something internally wrong but I dont know? Any ideas? Dont want to have to replace the transmission if I dont have to.
