Constant rattling
What is this noise. My mechanic keeps having me do stuff to it like change my back tires, arm, axle, shocks and it is still rattling. Frustrated ive spent a lot of money to fix it and its still there.
Bumper Repair
Hey folks. So a couple weeks ago this sweet old lady backed into me and messed my bumper up. I didn’t want to stress her out with insurance and all that so I told her it was no big deal and I would take care of everything. Flashforward: I go to my car guy and he tells me the bumper repair will be $800. I just don’t have the money to do that. I’m not picky about my car but I would like to do some sort of DIY repair. I’m handy enough to deal with something relatively simple, but would also like it to not look like garbage.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated, thank you all!
Dodge Charger broken center bearing on driveshaft
2016 dodge charger sxt, I have it in a shop right now. They were speaking some big numbers saying I have to replace the whole driveshaft and bearing, that they cant just replace the bearing alone. Does the driveshaft not separate on the Chargers? The bearing is cheap. I have no knowledge with car repair. Thanks for the help!
Battery terminal connector removal
I have a 2016 Toyota Camry and I had to remove the battery to change out the headlamp. One of my terminal connectors disintegrated and left me stuck with this.
How do I remove the bolt so that I can replace the old connector with a new one? I have used a wire brush to scrape off as much corrosion as possible. I've also used corrosion spray. But the last green bit won't budge.
An estimated cost
Hi. I own a Honda accord 2010. And it has some rust spots after the winter got over here in Ontario Canada.
Can you guys take a look at pictures of the rust spots and can able to tell me an estimate cost for repairs. I also want to know that whether it’s worth to repair or not.
Thanks.
Touchscreen
i live in Texas and I'm fairly sure my touchscreen got these cracks a while back from the heat. it pretty much doesn't work anymore, which is really frustrating and hinders a lot of functions like music and such. I'm still a big CD user and can't switch to disc mode without it. i'm just not sure where to go to get something like this fixed.

reddit.comCrank no start 05 ram 1500
I have a 05 ram 1500 while driving on the highway truck suddenly started losing power then when I pulled over I turned it off and wouldn’t stay running when it a was turned back on. I drove about a mile to the nearest exit then got it towed home and it has not five back on ever since. I didn’t hear any knocking sounds and when I try to start it just cranks and sounds like it wants to start but won’t turn over. I did add oil to it because when I checked the oil it seemed pretty low and dark.
Dent repair, DIY?
Some absolute genius opened my passenger door onto a wall and bent the corner, the quotes I’m getting to repair it are astronomical. How possibly is this to do it myself? And if so how?
Worth trying to fix ? Or just replace ?
A box truck backed into my car ..in an empty parking lot. I only know this because my jobs security camera caught it . What y’all think ? Worth the hassle or nah?

the front of the car on the passenger side is looking loose now and I have flex tape on it to keep it looking normal. can this be fixed or will it cost thousands?
New Tire, Whirring Sound
I was driving (2020 GLC) and hit a low concrete median and got an immediate flat (Pirelli AS, non-run flat, bought Nov 2025). Passenger front. No other visible damage. Brought the car to Canadian Tire (had no choice as this is where roadside could tow) and got a brand new tire (same brand ofc). Drives fine, no pulling to one side, no vibrations, no shaking, no issues with turning or steering, no sounds - except there is a rhythmic whirring noise once I reach 70KM/h+. It’s not loud but noticeable enough. Also, once I got this car on the highway, the tire pressure sensor goes off. Any idea what this issue is before I call? This woman was trying to tell me “the tire went on fine and was able to be balanced” when I asked if there was damage to the rim and mentioned “sometimes we think after we got something fixed we psych ourselves out and look for things that are wrong with the car.” So I already know this is going to be an uphill battle.
