Rotors

Do I need new rotors? My tire busted and I think I drove on the rim for like 1/10 of a mile. Also don’t know if I messed up my alignment

What could be causing this sound and huge jerk?

2013 Honda Accord LX, Automatic, Mileage : 190k Kms

Whenever the weather drops to around 5 degrees or below, my car does this loud jerking sound and it's so strong it shakes the whole car.

It only ever does this in the following conditions:

  1. The weather is low
  2. The car is just starting up for the first time of the day
  3. The car has been sitting for a long time, such as overnight.

It never does it again after I've started it up in the morning and I've been driving throughout the day.

Any one ever experience something like this??

It happened basically everyday in winter and 2 days ago when it dropped again (I'm in Canada)

Got a 2004 gmc sierra 1500 slt. I replaced upper and lower control arms, outter and inner tire rods, pitman arm, idler arm and steering gear box. My steering wheel is loose and won’t lock when I turn my truck off.

2010 Chevy Impala 3.5 V6 Electronic Throttle Body? Both TPS sensors reading OL

Hello everyone! Need some help!

Okay so I was doing my rear drum brakes on my 2006 Toyota Camry LE. I cannot get the left drum off to do the brakes and I have tried my hardest! I need some advice to get it off and I have tried most internet advise!

Also got a stuck O2 sensor on my downstream exhaust that I can’t get off to replace it.

Lastly there is this weird noise coming from the back (maybe it’s cuz I did the shoes and didn’t put drum on right?) It sounds like the back is vibrating but it isn’t like screeching or anything like that. Any advice will be appreciated!

Parasitic Draw Issue - 2017 Hyundai Elantra (Avante AD) 1.6 GDI - 55k Miles - Battery dead after 2 days

​Hi everyone,

​I'm dealing with a battery drain issue on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra (Avante AD) 1.6 GDI. The car has 55,000 miles on it. If the vehicle sits for about 48 hours, the battery is completely discharged.

​Here is what I’ve checked so far:

​Battery & Alternator: Both have been tested; the alternator is charging at specification, and the battery is in good health.

​Modifications: The car is completely stock with no aftermarket accessories.

​Questions:

​Are there any known TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) or recalls regarding parasitic draw for this specific model and year?

​With 55k miles, are there common failures in modules like the Smart Key sensors or BCM that prevent the CAN bus from sleeping?

​Are there any specific fuses I should prioritize during a voltage drop test?

​I'm a technician looking for any "usual suspects" or factory-documented issues before I start pulling every fuse.

​Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
