Engine rattles like a diesel, Adjust the valves ? or someone mentioned some kind of tensioner for a balancing item that probably needs replacing, I think I'm pretty high milage. leaks a bit of oil and am not driving it because of a front end problem, probably bearings which I'm told it's easier to replace the whole hub with a used one than replace the bearings ? I was able to replace the rears on the car when I couldn't totally disassemble it because of seized bolts. The passenger side needs a bushing in the swing arm and I'll probably be replacing that whole side with another used unit. Anybody know if the bearings are easily available at a bearing shop instead of being a dealer only item ? I got the rears that way for less than half the cost, and are they that hard to replace ? The front end rattles and clunks when turning but the CV's are supposed to be O.K. and occasionally when driving straight I get a shudder and grinding ? sound with a feeling of rolling resistance and there's a little play in the bearings when jacked up. Got a couple bolts broken on the sub frame also. same one on each side and it looks like the frame has been moving a bit.
