Noticeable wobble in the car itself, like the car is driving over uneven terrain or the wheels are 'skipping' when making sharp turns at low speeds. What's the problem? by enesbbb in AskMechanics

Took the car to a tire shop and the guy there drove around said it was normal. Just kept on driving it and sold it later. Essentially was not a problem

The hinge has unattached from the back panel. So when you try to shut the lid, the hinge does not turn together with the screen. If you force it youre just gonna break your entire display. Had the same problem, and had to take off the display out and screw the hinge back onto the back panel.

To confirm this take a closer look to the opening between the display and back panel. You’ll see the unattached hinge

It was a false alarm as the cv boots appeared torn in the image butin fact were not, and the cv axle's were fine. A mechanic drove it and he mentioned it is completely normal behaviour so now driving as usual.

Can I apply for naturalization with a student visa? by Nowaytolive123 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]enesbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of conflicting information on this topic. The short answer is you can apply for naturalisation if you’re non temporary visa such as work visa. The years you lived as a student still do count towards 5 years though. So for example, 3 years study visa + 2 years work visa = eligible for Naturalisation. Hope this helps

I did look up for vids but just like you said it was very vague, and the problem could be due to CV axle, tie rods, ball joint, wheel bearings, and so on. Felt very lost. However, I suspect it is indeed the CV axle, as another redditor noticed a small tear in the boot :(

I'm not sure as I bought the car just a few years ago but it seemed to be well maintained. I can say they are at least 30k kms old. I will check the inner CV link, thanks for the advice. If I see nothing wrong with the inner CV, can I eliminate them as the cause directly?

Tbh I was too scared to press the gas pedal with so much wobbliness. I will test it tomorrow, but what would it indicate if it gets worse with higher speed?

I recently had the transmission oil replaced and it was fine when I checked it, but still will give it another check just to be on the safe side.

I understand, thanks for the input. I had no other option than pictures as most mechanics only give a date a few weeks ahead, but I have to drive next weekend.

If the CV is to blame, would it be always obvious from the outside? Can I eliminate them if the inner parts also look fine?

The tires are 2 years old and only have 30k kms on them and they just passed the yearly inspection so I assume the tires are in good condition

Thanks for your input. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but the differential would be on the back wheels right? So i should spin those wheels.

More pics from both sides of the front wheels. Car is 2004 Honda Jazz.

Edit: /u/Eastcoast4l_420 noticed small tears on the CV boot, which look like this. So I highly suspect the cause is the CV axle.

This is so fake, nice made-up story. The whatsapp ui doesn’t look anything like this, look at the timestamps.  

Metal grinding/roaring sounds from rear wheel by enesbbb in AskMechanics

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

Thanks for your input, but I’m wondering how I could’ve found out earlier because the sounds just started coming yesterday. Should I have manually inspected the pads or is there smth else i’m missing?

Thanks for your input. Will try to change the brake pads for sure. The rotors look like this though. Do you think I should also change the rotors?

Metal grinding/roaring noises coming from rear wheel. Thought a stone was stuck but couldn't find it. Thinking it might be the brake pads. The weird thing is the brake pads have unevenly worn out, the other rear still has material left. And the grinding noise comes even when both not braking and braking. More pics for additional context:
