I hear a grinding noise from the back right side of my 2003 Honda Element. I definately has something to do with the rotaion of the wheels; it changes as the speed increases or decreases. Here is what really concerns me: when the brakes are applied, the grinding noise is worse. Obviously, it needs attention but I'm wonder what I am looking at here in terms of repairs.

I am looking at purchasing a 1996 Buick Century Special/Custom/LTD with just over 104,000 miles. Body is in good shape as well as the interior. Only known problem to me is head gasket is blown. Seller wants $600 obo after putting new tires on just before the gasket blew. What should I consider before purchasing and what do you think a fair price would be?

There is a short somewhere when i apply the brake and i don't know what it is. I push on the brake and the radio shuts off and the gauges go haywire. All the gauges drop and the speedometer reads a lot faster than what i am actually doing. This morning, i was sitting at a stop light, waiting to go, and it happened again, and the car sounded like it was going to shut off, but didn't stop all the way. About a mile or mile and a half up the road, it did it again and shut off all the way. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

i had a really large sound coming from front end of my car, sounded like something was going to fall off everytime you drove over a little bump or something. i brought the car into the dealership. later that afternoon i called to find out progress of my repair. i was told that the strut mounts needed lubing, and that this wasn't covered under warranty at a cost of $115.
a few hours later i went back to the dealership to pick up my car. instead i was given a courtesy car for the weekend, and told i had other damage. this damage was arm bushings loose, and left front coil spring broken.
can someone please tell me, does one relate to the other? or if they had diagnosed problem correctly, would there have been a need to lube strut mounts when this apparently wasn't the problem? help. and thanks.

Just been at the repair shop and was told that it should be fine. I have to only change my front tyres and thats it. It would cost me 150 $ . Does it worth it or I can still drive? I think its actually right front tyre which isnt ok.

Just an idea I was thinking of as i was sitting around, Do you think its possible to tube the intake of an EFI system into the AC duct, and turn on the ac to ice cold to act as a blower? I know it wouldent be as effective as a turbo or supercharger, but would it help more then ram air?

My car has started screeching when I press the gas pedal. The screech stops when I take my foot off the gas. It's not a loud screech at this point, but if something is wrong I want to take care of it before it causes more problems that will cost even more to repair. Whatever the problem is, I'd like to get it fixed now as I'm going on a long road trip for Memorial Day weekend (6 hours each way).

Might this be a fan belt issue? And if so, will it be expensive to have repaired?

I have a 1994 toyota pickup 4x4 and when i turn the key all i hear is a rapid clicking sound. Im thinking its the starter because theres plenty of juice in the battery (enough to run all my interior lights radio & headlights) but while it clicks all the lights get very dim...ive never had any warning of this like the typical one or two clicks then start, it just went from working fine to the clicking i mentioned above...can any of you help me out?
