Re: Car suddenly very loud but no rpm increase?

Do you have any idea how long it is safe to drive on one for? I won’t be able to fix it for a couple days but still have to go to work

Re: Car suddenly very loud but no rpm increase?

It sounds very similar to the noise at the end of this video but I have already had my front wheel bearings changed twice now in the last 15k miles. First mechanic must have had bad parts or something and then second mechanic installed new ones maybe 6 months back. Is there really a possibility that...

Car suddenly very loud but no rpm increase?

I have a 03 vibe with 146k miles Hey so I have posted recently about increase rpm when idling and what felt like the car catching when it would try to shift between 2k and 3k rpms on the highway. This issue is still happening and some had suggested that I had a vacuum leak from my intake manifold. I...

Re: Noise from wheel after new rotors and brakes

I just watched a couple videos of guys doing a brake and rotor replacement on vibes and I did everything they did except lubricating the push pin and I used a socket wrench instead of a torque wrench. I’m not sure if either of those are the thing making the noise but they could be. The noise almost ...

Re: Noise from wheel after new rotors and brakes

I didn’t use a torque wrench just kinda tightened things are much as I could with my socket so maybe that’s an issue? I’m definitely going to open it back up this weekend and just reassemble. I know I got some grease on the rotor and there was a lot of leaves and dirt in the driveway so maybe someho...

Re: Noise from wheel after new rotors and brakes

I’m not sure what the sliders are which makes me think I probably did not lol Also I pulled a u turn to the left this morning leaving my house and I really felt like something was touching over there on my right wheel. Not sure if this helps with your diagnosis but it seems to exaggerate the noise/v...

Noise from wheel after new rotors and brakes

Hey y’all, so I changed my front rotors and brakes for the first time and now there’s a noise that my right front wheel makes while I’m driving, I can hear it every rotation of the wheel it’s almost a whirling noise. The noise goes away if I press on the brakes at all which makes me think it’s somet...

Re: 03 vibe diagnosing and replacing motor mounts?

Would just replacing those two be okay or is it kinda like you have to replace all 3 at a time to ensure proper function?

03 vibe diagnosing and replacing motor mounts?

Hey y’all, I own a pretty beat up 03 vibe that I’m just trying to keep alive for as long as I can. My current issue is that there is a creaking sound when I turn right exclusively. My own research online made me believe this is a cv axel issue however I took it to a mechanic near me and they said th...

Re: New member, correct board for transmission problems?

Thanks for the replies! I have checked the transmission fluid and that looks fine but I will try all of the other possibilities you guys listed. The check engine light is not on but it sounds like the same issues I’m having are the ones from the intake manifold gasket, I’m very new to repairing cars...

New member, correct board for transmission problems?

03 vibe fwd 148k miles Hey y’all, like the title says I’m not sure if this is the correct spot I should be posting for help but I’m pretty clueless about cars and trying to learn. My vibe has started having this issue of sitting at 2k rpms when in park but it will drop when I put it into gear. On to...
