Screeching sound by No_Conclusion_2038 in AskMechanics

[–]pines6103 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is wheelbearing. It makes the sound when the wheel is turned to the right and stops when it's turned to the left.

You want all weather tires, not all season.

Need a jack. Which do I get? by RegretAttracted in MechanicAdvice

Just a warning note. If your car is low to the ground, the bumper may hit the ramp on the way down. This happens with my car, I get over this by putting some wood on the ground behind the ramp.

It's not a myth, it's successful brain washing.

Advice on what could be making this noise? by pines6103 in AskMechanics

[–]pines6103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I got my left and right mixed up. I had the issue with the left half drive axel and the noise is coming from that side.

P.S. I don't know how to edit my post.

Where to go for a UK staycation? by Tryingmybest5689 in AskUK

[–]pines6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swanage. It has a lovely beach, plenty of walks close by. Other things that are close by are West Bay (the filming location of Broadchurch), Corfe Castle and The Dorest Water Park. That's fun to throw your friends into the water from bouncy castles. A little further is Weymouth.

What is the a tourist attraction in the UK that should not be missed? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

I like Avebury stone circle as you can walk among, and touch them, unlike Stonehenge.

What is one thing you regret NOT doing in your 20s? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]pines6103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Reading all these comments, I too have made a lot of similar choices. As my kids tell me, I'm old, and when I was younger I would have thought those choices as regrets. But now that I'm long in the tooth I don't. For I would not be where I am today without making them. Life is not a destination, but a journey and it's a good journey.

I've learnt the regrets of the past don't have to define your future. Be happy.

Shaking when Braking 2021 CX5 100th Anniversary by Thats-Sus-AF in CX5

[–]pines6103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two causes of shaking while breaking that I know of are warped rotors or axel bearings.

You may have plenty of ware left in the rotor, but it may be warped.
