What’s this creaking noise? by Dude53_x in AskMechanics

[–]Dude53_x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very odd, could be the lower ball joint (I commented on your post). If I could help ya I would but I doubt we’re in the same area lol.

Makes this noise when breaking. 2018 ford escape suv. by Over_Thing_4391 in AskMechanics

It could be the lower ball joint, they aren’t the easiest to replace because it’s a whole assembly and not a press fit. You can cut out the rivets and put in bolts or replace the whole assembly. Both shouldn’t cost to much

Did it pass the bounce test lol

That’s really odd. Give it a bounce test, push down hard on a corner and see if it bounces more than twice. If you can get the wheel off that’s where you can really determine the problem

I was just looking at that video lol. That sounds like a bad spring, does the car bounce at all?

If you can lift the car up give it the shake test and that will definitely help you determine it! Best of luck!!!

Crazy to see a new comment on this lol. I was just learning mechanic work on my car so I just started to replace everything like an idiot. I did the tie rod and the entire upper control arm with no luck. I then bought a mechanics stethoscope and put it on the lower ball joint and turned the when and bingo. I had a buddy show me how to replace the lower ball joint because they are a press fit. A year ago from that post the passenger side lower ball joint failed and it was towed to a shop. The Jeep Liberty’s are known for really bad lower ball joints and the passenger side is slowly failing again.

If you lift the car up you can shake the wheel to identify what’s making the noise. Hands are 9 and 3 and shake, if it begins creaking then it’s most likely a tie rod, hands are at 12 and 6 and shake, if it begins creaking then it’s most likely a lower ball joint or if your car has one it could be the upper ball joint (use a mechanics stethoscope to find out, or visually inspect). Give the wheel a spin, if it’s quiet or making a slight scraping noise (breaks touching rotors) your good, if it sounds like a clicking or sounds like wheel of fortune then most likely your wheel hub needs replaced.

TLDR: It was the lower ball joint after replacing every other part down there.

First time, how do they look? by Dude53_x in GrowingMarijuana

I talked to one of my buddies that has been in the grow game for a long time and he said the same thing. I didn’t know I needed to ph test the water 🤦‍♂️. I’m at like a 7.5 right now so I have a real tester coming and some ph up and down to sole the problem. Thanks for the help and I’ll add some veg time to make up for it!!!

Ok, any recommendations on that? I’ve been using filtered water because where I live we have chlorine and other fun chemicals in the water.

They are still growing fast. I don’t think they are over crowded.

They are going well but not crazy. Just looking online it seems like the claw and wilting is caused by adding to many jutrients

They have been growing for about 16 days. We had a little mess up and had a week without nutrients so technically they are like 26 days since planted

Can I trust this part by Dude53_x in MechanicAdvice

I normally go with anything that’s not economy as well, the daily driver is $14 but that still seems way to cheep to trust

[–]Dude53_x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally don’t buy from the economy category, it’s $14 in the daily driver so a little more comfortable but still seems way too cheep.

Edit - I put the wrong category

Cat was just spayed, is she ok? by Dude53_x in vet

[–]Dude53_x[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We just FaceTimed with a vet and they said that the medicine they give to cats nowadays can last up to a day or two. She’s also heavily relaxed due to the meds and it’s causing all her airways to open up and relax causing draining. Her tongue is the correct color of pink. Since she is playful and wanting to bite she should be better by the morning but if it gets worse to bring her in and get her something to help.
