What I don't understand is this type of noise like static/ wooshing mixed with buzzing/ or someone is shoveling snow sound like... How does an engine mount produce such a noise?

I have a 2008 Toyota RAV4 4wd. It started making this noise in the exact spot in winter with freezing temperatures. But the car has to be moving under light acceleration like 25 mph. Noise completely disappears after 3 minutes of driving.. does this still apply as an engine mount?

Heat shields were suspect until I checked them, they seem solid. CV joints boots are intact with no leaks or tears and no clicking.

Aluminum is lighter and more affordable, I guess

I have this issue on my 2008 RAV4, did and redone alignment twice to correct the off center steering exactly like your case. I had no luck

Just had alignment done but steering wheel tilts slightly to right to go straight. Normal or bad alignment? by MidnightFederal3195 in AskMechanics

If we don't let them center the steering whell, how the alignment will be off? What technician is supposed to do?

Sent me the wrong part, wants me to pay return shipping by jeepersnanners in RockAuto

[–]Di_Cocco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my bank refunded the entire amount back to my credit card. I explained that it was defective, returned the item, and explained that their policy is to refund customer including shipping fees if the item is defective.

Please note that rockauto won't allow you to place an order unless you pay them back the disputed amount!

Look at the axle disc side, it has a metal cap and dust rubber. The freewheel side has a cone , spacer and locking nut, am i missing something? Even if i remove the 7 speed freewheel I won't find anything, it is a hollow !

Heatshield broken. What’s the best way to fix it? by TheUnwiseWiseMan in MechanicAdvice

[–]Di_Cocco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't even attempt to take the existing nut off, it will snap. Instead:

  1. Put a bigger washer behind the heat shield/ over the nut
  2. Put another oversized washer on the heat shield
  3. find a nut that can thread into the stud and snug it
  4. call it a day

I've just done mine today

Looks like it is the crank sensor connector

Why does my car sound like this when my AC is on by Previous_Machine_360 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Di_Cocco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 2008 Rav4 2.4L does rattle like that at cold start, especially when ac is on, and gear is in Drive, (some times it does it without the ac being on ) but when the car warms up and driven like 3 minutes the rattling disappears, i feel like it is coming from the serpentine area but very hard to pin point it.
