Maintenance & Repairs - February 2007

Hi, I am getting a popping sound (not grinding sound) for my KIA RIO 2004. THe sound is coming from the front right side of the vehicle. The sound comes whenever I apply the brakes to the vehicle or when I begin to accelerate from a traffice light.

I got it checked from MEINKE car care and they were not very sure of the problem. They think that it is the alignment plate on the front right wheel that may be causing the problem. My question is as below -
1) WHat could be the cause
2) How much will it cost me and the best and cheapest repair center in Charlotte, NC where I an get this fixed?

I have a hunter green Cadillac DeVille that has water spots on it. I've washed it with several products, but nothing will get the spots off. Is there a product that I can use (wax, etc.) that will eliminate the spots?

The van won't start and I've heard that going underneath and hitting the starter with a hammer could help. Any thoughts?

We just bought a 86 Mazda RX-7 with a B-13 Rotory engine, the transmition seems to be good but there is no accelaration, it shoots out white smoke and the engine runs poorly, my dad thinks its a fuel filter and a air intake leak, I'm more on it just needs some new plugs and wires, What do yall think could be wrong with it?

Hello. I own a Lexus RX350, and I've been fueling at Shell with premium gas only, because someone informed me they have the most clean gas (?) around the market. Whatever he meant, I happened to fill up at a local Speedway, and ironically, I got 40 more miles in MPG until the fuel gauge lighted up. ( I only drive locally, same patterns of roads, and consumes until the fuel gauge lights up, and reset my odometer to check MPG just for the curiosity.) Does this mean Speedway carries a better gas than shell? I haven't tried other gases like BP or Marathon, but someone please resolve my curiosity. Thank you.

I am not sure if my springs have been cut or if my car was just lowered via springs before i purchased it. I know how to check, thats not my question. I need to know, what do I do if my springs have been cut and i want to raise the car to a normal height in order to put a body kit on it?
