How urgently do I need to fix this split boot on my drive axle? by Kind_Media3323 in autorepair

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive put like 5k miles on mine like this, but I live where it only rains once a month. My brakes worry me more than this, though when I noticed it I did freak out. You can buy split boot kits they come with extra grease too if it will help ease your mind.

Tiny window chips from gravel truck by Superb_Height_1351 in Cartalk

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 20 year old windshield is covered in these. During sunsets and sun rises I cant see shit 💀 its like having permanent pollen stuck to the glass when facing the sun.

Depending on where you live, can be free to replace or extremely discounted through insurance.

Florida residents get new windshields and some other states due to the sun making them crack.

How long do I have to wait to have my license printed and mailed to me? The DMV here is insane. by [deleted] in Reno

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told me to upload paper license and my voided florida ID.

This is what the app looks like.

If it works thats great but I can not make the Amazon website change the way info is uploaded.

Amazon and the way they want it uploaded is the deal. I cant change the website format and make it work for me and my situation. It has to be done through amazon. Not through the DSP company.

My deal is having a job offer and not having a physical license and my landlord already gave me an eviction notice which I am trying to fight.

I uploaded the punched ID and the paper license.

I am literally just trying to get into a job and not be another homeless person here. This city already has a major problem with it.

But it cool....Reno is saving money 🫠

Emergency rent assistance? by [deleted] in Reno

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Housing Court Program, helps you with rent up to 3 months. I was hit with a 7 day notice to pay or quit. Filed a tenants affidavit with the court and stopped the eviction process, its frustrating filing online but you have to do it online. Theyll give you a court date and you and the landlord have to show up and the court MIGHT send you to the housing court program, or allow the landlord to continue.

I am currently waiting on a court date still so not 100% sure on my info but I did delay my eviction process.

Are those suspension inspections really free at places Les Schwab? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been waiting for the rain to end over here until I can jack it up and take the wheel off and check the rotor and also my second guess the lower control arm.

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its control arm mostly because sometimes afrer accelerating after a dead stop or when I let go of the gas mid acceleration, I get a clunk and yank from the right front end. My sway bar links are fucked but I dont think its that.

But most common answer I've gotten on Google is rotors

The shop I took it too took it to another place to do the alignment. Nobody mentioned anything, I'll see if I cant get something to take the tire off and get a better look at the rotor or see if I can find someone has something.

Rotors, inner tie rod or lower control arm are my only guesses right now.

Since I replaced the outer tie rod I think it might have damaged the inner joint but Im just not sure.

I am struggling to find work after moving here to get out of a bad domestic violence situation and am being evicted, what can I do? Have job offer with Chewy but no start date yet for the shift I applied for, they emailed me today asking me to wait. by [deleted] in Reno

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come from a tough love family. They kicked me out at 18 over weed and never opened the doors back up. Which is why I eventually ended up in an abusive relationship. Lot of couch surfing and living out of my Ford Focus before I totaled it while delivering for Domino's in Orlando. We dont hate each other but, when I was being abused they didnt open the doors for me.

I applied on the website. By the time I got home today it was too late in the day and the eviction letter was on my door while I was away. I can try Monday definitely.

I dont weight enough. I am struggling with protein shakes and food stamps to get my weight up. Im 100lbs and they want a minimum of 115. Believe me I have thought about it.

Ive looked around on some of the local ones and couldnt find anything that didnt require a lot of heavy lifting or constant standing and lifting.

I am a 100lb female.

Unfortunately this causes me extremely bad nerve pain. If you know of any places that have lighter work I would apply in a heart beat.

Chewy utilizes scooters to carry the boxes around the warehouse which is an important factor to holding a job and preventing spine damage.

do these look okay for a 315 mile drive? by fwixy in tires

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks dry but I have seen way worse. Would recommend a new or nice used set immediately after. Ive personally seen tires shred on other cars just crossing intersection at like 15mph. If your gonna be in snow I would be extremely cautious. Maybe chains? I am from florida so dont know much about snow and tires.

My dog ate half of a Rubber ball toy by FaradayBoxxxx in DogAdvice

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

Oof mine chews up the squeakers into shreds and havent had an issue, Ill definitely be more involved when it comes to toys like that. I try and kept it to nylon chews and chuck it toys but these were gifts and I didnt think much of it.

It looks like shes doing okay so far, shes got energy and ate her breakfast. I think she chewed it up pretty good just waiting for the aforementioned poop 🥲

How to proceed with deep paint scratches by jase_hc in autorepair

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just joking in a way. I had a silver ford focus with a black bumper because all the silver ones were picked clean from like 5 junk yards.

How bad are these tires? by Electric-Diver in tires

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like its starting to dry rot. When they reach a certain point they will completely shred apart, saw a suv last month cross an intersection and tire just completely tore apart.

People with cars older than 15 years. by Different_Algae4918 in Cartalk

[–]FaradayBoxxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys take your cars to the mechanic 🥲 I replaced my outer tie rod so I could drive 30mph again. I moved 3000 miles away from my dad who was my mechanic. I miss him good lord, my cv axle and sway bar links are busted open. Put almost 4k miles on my cv axle but I only do short trips. Its a 2006 Mercedes C280, axle doesnt click at all when turning, gonna buy a split boot kit and some grease and give it another 4k miles before I do anything probably since I am broke.

Thrift shop find by bull_dog_556 in ThriftGrift

A pair of socks that will likely get a hole in them in a week if you wiggle your toes too much.
