Auto Repair Advice

Part of getting good service from your mechanic is accurate communication of noises and symptoms of the car trouble you are having. Here is a quick look at the most common drivetrain noises you may hear and the possible problems.

- Low frequency vibration when turning a corner usually points to a wheel bearing going bad. This usually sounds like a thump…thump…thump noise and varies with speed and how hard you are turning. To diagnose, your mechanic will raise your vehicle off the ground and check the amount of play in the wheel bearings. You can do this yourself with a jack in your driveway.

- High frequency clicking when making low speed sharp corners is a classic sign of a CV joint going bad. Front wheel drive vehicles use a constant velocity joint which can wear over time. If the boot which protects the joint from dust and keeps grease in, is damaged the wear can happen even quicker.

Have you ever wanted to turn corners fast in your Trans-Am? Check out Highland Daytona’s G-Hawk. I work for the company making the rear suspension for the car, and can verify that it’s well built and makes this thunder chicken really handle !

This car will make Burt Reynolds blush when tearing up the track. The Smokey and the Bandit car has nothing on the G-Hawk.

When shopping for an Kia online, it’s best to do your research first and find out the true invoice price for the car. You can find invoice pricing at websites like Edmunds.com After you know the invoice price of your Kia, the next step is to get a price quote. I use Invoice Dealers to get a price quote from a local dealer. This service puts you in touch with a dealer in your area and most of the time results in the lowest price without having to haggle on price. Once you get a price quote you can compare it to invoice price and negotiate through email. This keeps you out of the showroom and gives you the edge when negotiating.

Every owner should have a repair manual for their car, even if they never lift a wrench on their car. AllData has a cool Online Repair Manual for your Kia which has excellent indepth repair procedures, as well as Recall and TSB information. The Recall and TSB information is very valuable for all car owners and could save you tons of money when taking your Kia in for Repair.
