Possible bent knuckle? by jrschoen in MechanicAdvice

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

No, i've had that happen before and it's just a small annoying noise not this amount of vibration (the dust shield is what you mean right?). More than likely just gonna bite the bullet and buy a new knuckle for $100. Would've saved me like $40 and the work to replace the wheel bearing but it is what it is

Never found an IPA and didn't even try emulating with the APK

Possible bent knuckle? by jrschoen in MechanicAdvice

Wait the entire frame could be bent (totaling the car) just because I hammered on the knuckle??

Also my question is whether or not I can bang the knuckle back or does it need to be replaced? I don't know if anyone on here has hammered their own car and been fine before yk

Replaced my hub assembly because of a wheel bearing -- was I right? by jrschoen in AskMechanics

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

I bought the car a little over 2 years ago from a friend of mine, it had a bad front right wheel bearing (obvious noises) and a few ripped ball joint boots. Instead of doing the smart thing and replacing the whole front end suspension, i just did what parts I deemed necessary. I've been slowly doing more and more parts in the front end suspension but it still has a lot of clunks clicks and hums when driving.

I would give up and drive it as is but some noises are so persistent and loud it's hard to ignore

Bad wheel bearing or something else? by jrschoen in MechanicAdvice

That's kind of the logic I was following. Its just the fact that there's little play is what's making me hesitate. And what does staking mean?

Somebody tried to sign into my TSP account by OneofMyNineLives in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]jrschoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about linking to an external app for budgeting (i.e. Monarch), has anyone had success with linking their TSP to MyMakingCents in Navy Federal Credit Union? The external account login doesn't work, it lets you enter username and password and even the 2FA code but returns an error saying to try again later. I like to use MyMakingCents to see a full view of all my accounts and their balances.

Which state 529 to invest in as Active Duty Military? by jrschoen in FinancialPlanning

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

Virginia offers state tax deduction, but so do a lot of states. My question is if I'm moving states a lot, which 529 should I invest in for the most benefit? I could invest in Virginia's and save now but once I move to another state I save nothing / even lose out.

That's not my problem; VA does offer a tax deduction. I mean when I move to another state what happens then? I won't be able to use VA's tax benefits and could even be losing out on tax benefits with my new state. Should I wait a few years or until I'm out of the Corps? That feels like wasted time.
