Hello again,
I've got another small problem with my 1993 LX (again, I know this is the sccoa board, I know I should post at tccoa, but as I've said before, you guys have always been infinitely more helpful than they have in the past)..
While back, I started hearing a strange clunking sound that I've never heard. It seemed to come from the undercarriage, in the center of the car. I knew it was something bad, and I knew I had to get it checked out, but I simply didn't have the time or money. Eventually, it just kind of.. stopped.
It was replaced with another problem - my front axle has been feeling as though something is badly wrong with it, vibrating and occasionally "grinding/pulling" sound coming from it. It really only happens when I stop at stop lights, when I go to accelerate again, it's very slow to accelerate and sometimes it makes that strange sound.
Now, I know it's a problem, I know it's something I can't fix myself, and I know I need to get it checked out ASAP. What I *DO* need to know is if anyone can identify the problem from these few sporadic clues I've provided, and more importantly how much it will set me back.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
-Chris
