Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I have put on a set of 18" wheels on my 1998 Lexus Gs300 on 3/8/07 and when I drove the car with my wife on passenger side, she complained for uneven ride. And I've noticed that car was sagged on the left side but while measuring the gap between the wheel and the bottom edge of the fender right above the wheel, there was about 1.25" difference in gap for front right compared to others. What kind of problem is my car going through? Could I possibly have done this myself while changing the wheel? Please let me know what is wrong with my car and is this something I can fix myself? Is it suspension problem? maybe strut or spring? Please help me.

New Rebuilt 74 350 Engine in a 1988 Chevy truck. I port and polished the heads,new Valves, everything done besides new valve guides. Anyways, When I take off from a stop, you can hear like the valves chattering noise, pretty bad. Is it fast in time or what here? It seems to start pretty nice, but I had t olike turn up the idle speed a little on the Carb after the rebuild. The other new 350 I had in it, (was an 88 350 2 bolt main), and carb was like set to it. i put a new distribtor in it as well too. Thanks for any info.

im getting lots of clicking noises when i come to a complete stop and when i hit bumps in the road. also i noticed it clicks as i remove myself from the car. like my body weight is causing the car to go down, then when i get out it goes up and makes the click. the noise sounds like its coming from underneath in the front end.at first i thought it might be my shocks or struts, now im wondering if it might be the ball joints? any ideas as to what it sounds like. or what it might cost to repair depending on what it is. thanks for any info you can provide

I can never remember this. I need to check the oil and the tranny fluid in my car and can never remember if I should do it while the engine is warm or cold! Thanks.

I have a 1994 Explorer, and it has been making really loud kind of grinding noise under the front seats. Seems like sometimes my brakes sort of won't go, they make this humming noise and its kinda like they locked up and I'm still rolling, but I don't know if that is the case. Also, I'm having to press in the brake pedal more to stop at times now. I hope it's not as bad as it seems, I dont have much for money. What's wrong with my car?

Yeah i know i could buy one but i could also get it for free! I think car manufacturers should provide them for free after all it is a product they have sold you so should have all details about it.

Yesterday my car (1997 Chevy Lumina) was stuck in the snow and my male friend was trying to get me out. He eventually did get me out but he reved up the cars engine really high a few times. When I got in my car to drive home, I noticed that the VOLTS light was on. I have a new battery (Nov 06) and a new alternator, well rebuilt, (July 06). I should also mention that a few weeks ago I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. The battery did appear to be fully charged because all the "dings" and "lights" came on when I went to turn it on (new starter in Oct 06).
Thank you in advance for the help.

I just got into my car this morning and noticed my ABS light is on. It was not on last night, so I have no idea what happened. My car sat inside all night, and like I said, when I got in and started it this morning, the ABS light was on and did not turn off the entire way to work. Does anyone know what may have caused this, and what needs to be done?

I have a 99 Olds Sillouette, and I had the wipers going last night, and they got stuck together (the wipers go in two differnt directions), and I got them unstuck, but the wiper on the driver's side does not move, and the one one the passenger side does. I am assumng the motor is shot, and I need a new motor for the windsheild wipers. If a new motor is needed, how much would it cost about, if I take it to the garage and have it done? Any Ideas?
