Hey /o/ apparently I have an issue with one of my wheel bearings and must be replaced, I was informed months ago by a dealership auto repair shop (big mistake going to those) and said the repair would be 500$ for one. Well i didn't go through with the repair but I am limited to going on city roads instead of highways. I was thinking of replacing it myself because it would definitely save me a few hundred dollars and my brakes indeed do need replacing because i'm hearing that small squeak as I stop my car. Overall i'd like to ask is it very difficult to replace my wheel bearing and would I need to replace the other on the other side? My car is a 2007 chevy HHR LT with 260k miles on it. Runs well it just has those two issues. I know the are repair magnets but I want to be able to do repairs myself in order to save a liot of money. I am just afraid I will mess it up and get my car fucked up more.

I can't find any straight answers, so I turn here.

I have a 2009 Ford Focus SE and the motor is loud and rattles the whole interior. The motor mounts are fine, but I did come across during my research that changing the oil could make the engine quieter, but will cost you in what temps you can use the engine or whatever.

What viscosity and type should I change?

Hey /o/ I wanna see if any of y'all can help me. I bought this 1990 Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickup truck for $700 last month. It had a blown head gasket and many other things needed replacing. Anyways, I got the truck running great and now I'm having trouble registering the vehicle. The truck hasn't had an inspection since August of 2015 and the previous owner (Name is Rudy) that I bought the truck from never transferred the title into his name. The Texas DMV told me that I can not transfer the title into my name until either Rudy transfers the title into his name and then "sells it to me" or I track down the owner before Rudy, a man named Arturo, and have Arturo fill out a form that claims the sale of the truck to Rudy is false and that he actually means to sell the truck to me. Rudy claims he does not have contact with Arturo so I am stuck. I can either take the issue to court, which will take approximately 3 months, or apply for a bonded title. On the Texas DMV website, it says that vehicle appraisals less than $4,000 for vehicles older than 25 years will not be accepted. Since the bond would be set at 1.5 times the value of the vehicle. Since I doubt anyone is going to think a 27 year old Mitsubishi truck is worth at least $2,700 what am I to do? I have thought about signing the paperwork and forging Arturo's signature since he did originally sign the title over to Rudy, but what are the chances of me getting busted for doing that?

luxury suv yet can offroad better than most suvs on the market today. only luxury suv that can compete offroad with it is Mercedes G

Even mall crawlers like the evoque can do better than jeeps

Thoughts?
