What's wrong with IAB's Car...

[cincibuck]

did you put winter air in the tires?? If you leave the summer air in the tires when it gets below 40 degrees it will throw the whole car off.

I think he's (IMB) like most of us (not IMB) and went to 10W40 air. I can't remember the last time I put 30 weight in my tires. It's been so warm here in Ohio, I'd wait till we get a real cold streak going before I'd mess with the air.

Where are you taking it?

a freaking dealer, because there aren't any machanics around where i work and (that i know of) and since i work 58 miles from home i can't really take it anywhere near my house.

i've got the tube of anal ease with me today...

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Peach, Deety or Sushi found this thread? They'd be so grateful for the free information. Might cause them to rip the threads on their timeing belts before 60K miles.

car is going to the garage today - here are the symptoms

drumming noise when accelorating
drumming noise when brakeing
sways side to side as you are slowing down

lets see who can guess whats wrong...

BuckNutty

Hear The Drummer Get Wicked

Drumming sound, and sways side to side; sounds like BuckNutty is just living in your trunk. Kick his ass out of there and the drumming sound and swaying will go away.

Sounds like you could've broke the sway bar and maybe bent a rim causing it to sound like a 4x4 with big tires going down the road?

But if that aint it then it's definately the rearview mirror reducer. It's been common in newer vehicles so I hear.

 

[BrutuStrength]

Well, since you're swaying side to side I'd say your problem could well be with your strut. It should be more of a north-south line.

Make, model, year, miles?
Front wheel drive? Shocks or struts?
Tires and brakes OK?

Unfortunately as cars become more sophisticated diagnosing troubles like this are a crap shoot.

Iam, your car is clearly drunk. And flatulent.
