Q:I have a lifted 2001 Gmc sierra 1500hd it has a 6 inch suspension lift with a 3 inch body lift. Recently my left front wheel has been shaking causing really bad vibrations all over. They occur more often at a slower speed such as driving down the street. My tires are worn out pretty badly in the front. i believe I need an alighnment and someone told me my tires are off balance would this explain the strong vibration and the front left wheel shaking or is it something else.

your tires may be bad but check to make sure that the wheel mount is not bent from the lifting

Q:Ok don‘t be fooled by the name, I‘m using my sister‘s account because I forgot my password. But yea I wanted to know what the difference between an upper and lower front right control arm is I look everywhere online and only the upper is coming up as results They both look the same can anyone shed some light thanks . i have 99 Mazda Millenia 2.5 btw

yes, you could need to bleed the brakes, but you might need a new master-cylinder, check to see if the back of the power-booster is wet. if it is, you need a new one.

Q:True or False1. A floating caliper disc brake uses a single piston mounted on a sliding caliper to pinch a brake rotor between two brake pads2. Most small cars have a fully independent front suspension system3 Cruise control systems typically release the accelerator after receiving a signal from the brake light switch4. Unlike a standard differential, a limited slip differential will not send most of the power to a drive wheel without traction5. The driveshaft in a rear-wheel drive car may use Cardan joints and a slip joint rather than CV joints

All true. The only exception would be with question 2. Small cars is too general a term. A 1930's Ford is a small car and has a drop axle in the front. Most if not all cars of this era had them.

Q:how many solenoids are on lincoln mark VIII and the cost of them and the cost of hosing ?

if you mean starter solenoids then there,s only one of them !

Q:if you have air ride/air bags on a truck and you want to haul something on a trailer, will it be bad for the bags, can it make them blow or what can go wrong, is it even bad at all?

OEM airbags designed to automatically level a truck or SUV will inflate and deflate as needed and cannot exceed their maximum pressure. There are aftermarket air bag systems available to assist trucks when towing by adding more suspension points and stiffening the suspensions As long as the airbags are OEM, make sure to stay within the stated tow capacities of the truck. If they are aftermarket, follow the instructions for using the bags in conjunction with towing.

Q:just recently when i take a left turn the right side of the car dips really low and it feels like it gonna tip over to the right ? even at slow speeds and its really noticable on a long left curve.also when i was driving the other night, all of a sudden the right side sat very very low like i was driving on a road with a rise on the left side but the road was completely flat the thing is it is nt always there it comes and goes as im driving, it can feel normal for 20 or so miles then it will happen then it will right itself after another few miles ? #92;#92;i have noticed there is a slight noise like a crunching/squelching on the right front wheel side form time to time

A Lean mix can mean 2 thing one not enough air or fuel., Need to get a code scanner from your local auto parts store and see what code its pulling, then go from there Imo you have cover'd the spark plugs and filter and did you do a intake cleaning? if not do that you just spray it into the Butterfly after the air tubeChanging the fuel filter isn't a bad thing to do it will keep the fuel injector clean and running great. Once you have don't all the basic tune up maintenance and your still getting the same code then IMO your getting a bad injector and sould be looking for and miss fire code and it will tell you what cylinder. hope this helps.

Q:What should one look for in suspension problems and which are the common problems with car suspensions? How often should one replace the parts and what are the most costly suspension part replacements?

shocks eventually have to be replaced-- rubber bushings can become brittle and crack and need to be replaced. Ball joints can wear out,--those are the most common as to when it depends on how you drive and conditions you drive in.

Q:Im enlisting in the Navy and am looking at the Aviation Systems Operate rating. I really like the aviation aspect of the Navy and am curious what different jobs this will entail. Also what other aviation rates will allow me to fly in the helos, jets and planes? I cannot go in as a commissioned officer since I am halfway through my bachelors but am going to take advantage of the Navy‘s 100% tuition to finish it up. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

read the reports that come with the intake you will get more power at about 3500rpm you won't be able to see more hp unless you are on a dyno air intakes are great for a race car don't waste you money

Q:I have a 1997 VW Jetta and I recently hauled it via full tow dolly behind a penske truck from PA to Alabama. Now my suspension is Spongy and my brakes hardly work at all. Could there be any connection? Has anyone every had this problem? There didn‘t seem to be a problem before, and this is fairly recent and frustrating.

It should have treated the suspension as if you had driven it from PA to AL, since the suspension/steering is independent of other systems. It's very possible it was close to one of your struts time to go and this long of a trip just pushed it over. Usually use your brakes while driving and would notice any changes. So, it's possible something happened while towing (like a rock throw into a brake component) and it damaged it to where it's at now. Check your fluid level, if it's empty you will need to refill and bleed as well as check for any leaks once you have replenished the system. Also check for any obvious signs of damage to the rotors, calipers, drums (if equipped), ABS modules and inspect pads and shoes for no material or smooth appearance. It's possible a brake was locked (or became locked due to some incident while towing) and wore down or melted to the point where it doesn't work.

Q:The shock absorbers in the suspension system of a car are in such bad shape that they have no effect on the behavior of the springs attached to the axles. Each of the identical springs attached to the front axle supports 333 kg. A person pushes down on the middle of the front end of the car and notices that it vibrates through six cycles in 2.7 s. Find the spring constant of either spring.

Yes it does. Always replace dry rotting tires.
