      Scotty, I have a 2008 Corolla and when I start it up when the engine is cold it has a knocking sound but as the car gets to operating temperature the noise seems to fade out. Any clue what’s wrong? Worn piston rings?

    You always have good advice. I am 71 and started working with my dad at age 10 at his first Gulf Station in Florida in 1958. We went from a small 3 pump station to the largest full service station in Florida with 13 pumps, two service bays and 1 wash bay. (excluding the big truck stop at 75 and the Sunshine Parkway). My father taught me honesty, good service, maintenance and keeping a clean business. I have had 5 shoulder surgeries and a neck surgery with 3 fusions and 2 titanium plates, so my repair days are over and I miss the hell out of it.

  • @frankbonura5710
    @frankbonura5710 5 років тому +7

    One tool you’re going to need is a torque wrench the bolts to the struts need to be torqued to a specific tightness as well as the nut on the tie rod as well as the hub nut. Not all CV shafts have cotter pins on the hub nut. I recently did one of these on a 2002 Saturn and it took less than an hour. Anyone can do this job. Some cars will require a wheel alignment after disassembling the strut and reassembling it again but if you make a mark on the strut with a sharpie and line it back up again you can probably get away without doing an alignment.

    • @TheWilferch
      @TheWilferch Рік тому +1

      Caution...... the bolts and bolt holes on the shock strut that hold the wheel hub in place....many cars don't have an elongated hole in this area to change camber. Only a tight-fit circular hole for each of the 2 bolts. So taking the bolts out and back in WILL NOT affect alignement. Same deal when taking the tie-rod ball joint out and back in. The shaft is tapered and goes back in the way it came out......don't mess with the adjustment by rotating the housing....keep it where it is...and you'll be fine.

    If your car makes a clacking sound when you turn, first check the lug nuts. A friend of mine hit something in the road one evening in Dallas, and his front tire lost air. So he took his car to a tire shop just off the highway. They patched the tire & put it back on his car, but he noticed that there was a clack/clunk noise when he turned right the next day. Lo & behold, the lug nuts were all loose on that wheel.

    My '88 Mercury Tracer had a problem for a few months that I was negligent to get done in a timely fashion. I'd be driving down the road and abruptly it felt like a giant, invisible hand had pushed me sideways. This would happen from time to time. Finally, I got concerned for my safety...for good reason. Truth be known, it was a ball joint that was so worn out it was trying to pop out of its socket.
