My friend and I rented a 2010 Sonata and I really liked the car. It had about 20K miles but drove as if it was new.

I just checked the wheel and it did not move at all. It's stable. I turned the wheel with my hand and I can hear the grinding noise but I hear it every 2 seconds and then goes away. It's not a very loud noise and it could not be heard while the car is moving.

Thanks for your reply. Yes it's only rusted on the outside of the drum. The inside has no rust. How can I check the bearing?

Hey all, On my 1997 Camry, the rear drums are so rusted that sometimes while making a left turn, the drum would touch the dust shield (Not sure about the name) and I can hear a grinding noise from my rear right wheel. The shoes are still good but I am planning to replace the drums and shoes in...

Thank you all for your replies. The tires are performing very well in the snow compared to my Pirelli P4 all season set. There are no cracks on the sidewall, granted I took a quick look at them. But the good thing is my daily commute is less than 2 miles one way and the speed limit is 40 MPH...

Hey all, I bought my 1st set of snow tires and it's the best money I spent on my Camry. I got a set of 4 used Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 off Craigslist for $125 including Camry wheels. I just have a few questions about these snow tires: 1. I checked the date code on these tires and there were...

Sorry about your car. Glad your wife is OK. Same thing happened to my friend's Camry. The deer broke the mirror, fender, and wiper blade. Passenger front door was dinged as well. Cost about $650 total to fix.

Nice video. Now we need her to teach this moron how to change a flat tire!

I just hope they are OK. http://failblog.org/2009/11/05/epic-fail-forklift-driver-fail/

Sorry to hijack this thread but since we are talking about snow tires: I found a deal for a set of 4 used Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 winter tires with 5000 miles and wheels for $125. I am seriously thinking about buying it. Now where I live, it does not snow that much plus I have a set of...

Yes the varnish is harmless but it looks a little lighter. I still have another bottle of ARX that I will use soon. Not planning anytime to remove the cover again, I have some PP in my oil stash and will use them later.

Hello, this is the original thread. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...490#Post1337490 Well I have finally removed my valve cover gasket again after I finished my Auto RX treatment. I promised you after photos and here they are. Now @ 188K miles, I have change the oil twice since I...
