Ok, So last week i got my breaks done at a mechanic shop.
The next day i heard a loud clunking noise coming from what sounded like the front passenger side tire.
It went away and i didn't hear it again till the next day. It seems like everyday it is getting worse. Mainly when im turning left, or slowing down. If im driving straight, i don't hear it.
I've done some research on the internet, and it sounds like the CV axle.
Could there be any other possibilities?
Also, my main question.
Is there something the mechanic could have done while changing my breaks to make this sound happen. And if so, how do i prove it?
My car is a 2000 chevy cavalier, I have never had any problem with it, except for regular maintenance.
Please help!!If someone did my breaks wrong, could they damage my cv axle?
Well I dont see any reason for the brake guy to remove any parts that have to do with the CV joints.
It may have something to do with the brake job itself so take it back and have the guy remove the tire and rim and look it over before something bad happens.If someone did my breaks wrong, could they damage my cv axle?
take it back to the mechanic and ask them.
no , there no need to mess with cv shaft when doing front BRAKE service. you are right it does sound like cv shaft. You might check to see if he left lug nuts loose or caliper bracket
First off, you have got to determine what is actually causing the noise - it may not be the CV joint at all, it could well be a something as simple (and dangerous) as a loose wheel or improperly tightened brake caliper.
Have a mechanic take a look at it - the CV joints and brake system are not something that you should ignore.
its a CV ''joint''...not axil
this wouldn't have been touched by anyone fixing the brakes..
there would be no reason for him to.
its just one of those things...
purely coincidental
Its brakes (not breaks-you use breaks when you shatter a glass vase-it breaks). You need to take it back where the work was done or find another shop. I think Brake Check will take a look for free. Call some places in the yellow pagegs under auto brake work. Dont keep driving it until its properly fixed/

How to change Window Switch from nissan altima car?
last saturday I went to emission check and safety inspection check. he failed due to these reasons:-
1) driver's side window is not working (I know the exact problem, just need to change Window Switch)
2)Headlight got dust need to clean
3) back side number plate bulbs need to change
4) break pads need to be changed
5) axle need to change
He told me that 4 and 5 are optional no need to fix them to pass the safety test but 1,2, and 3 should be fixed. He told me that he can do those. but final bill he toled that 700 $, which is not worthful. I told him, that I can do it myself and came out with my car.
For head light cleaning, he asked me 140$. this is too much. I can get that headlight cleaners for 15 to 25$ and I can clean it myself. I need to know how to change Window Switch from nissan altima car? CAn anyone please guide me how to do? is there any video demo on this?How to change Window Switch from nissan altima car?
very simple, use a screwdriver to pop out switch from door panel, remove plug (there is a tab that you'll have to gently rise without breaking on the plug/harness) plug in the replacement and snap it back into the panel and you're done! if you prefer watching a video, they all change the same way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKbszdcMk

';Change';? Are you kidding?
How many people voted for Change by electing Barack Obama..... and then turned around and RE-elected the SAME bums and losers who have been screwing up our ';broken Washington';?
Not only was it terribly disappointing to watch Obama get elected, but I couldn't help but shake my head as I saw Kerry.... Murtha... and others ';win';.
WTF is wrong with you people? You elect a NOBODY because he promises to change a ';broken Washington';.... and you put the same CROOKS back into office with the same ballot?
Anyone else notice how STUPID this was?';Change';? Are you kidding?
My, there are a lot of disgruntled Republicans on here today.';Change';? Are you kidding?
Exactly, what were people thinking. This change he talks about is still undefined!
THEY ARE %26amp; IT';S FREAKING ME OUT!!!
you only think its stupid because you have twisted his words so they make him sound way the hell worse than he is.
get in line with the rest of the people on here bitching. its a pretty long line, you should have started walking sometime last week
I guess America who elected him, is way stupid.
And America is all wrong, compared to you.
America, Finally got it right.
yep, this country really has its head up its a$$
No, we're not kidding.
Neither is America.
A majority voted him in.
If you don't like it, leave.
But look at worldwide statistics about this Presidential election, because what we do here has an effect on EVERYONE. America has been too selfish for too long. The world wanted Obama, too.
i know. i couldn't believe murtha won!
You sir are the moron. Go crawl in a ditch for the next 4 years for all i care, this country is going to flourish under his term.
Obama+Kerry FTW!!
{For The Win}
what are you talking about? With a Democrat President and a Democratic House and senate will FINALLY get things done.
When Bush was president for 8 years, 2 out of that 8 Dems had the majority. BUT Bush did not corporate despite the fact that he and the republicans made a mess of things for 6 years.
Americans are doing the Smart thing by electing democrats.
You are entitled to your opinion, but you have it backwards.
I think a lot of the people who voted on both sides are idiots personally. Moreover, I think at least 50 percent of the American vote is comprised of people who don't know anything about politics anyway. That said, Obama deserved to win in my opinion. The thought of what would happen under McCain/Palin frankly scares me, but it all depends on what your ethics are. Have you ever thought that maybe those people were actually re-elected into Washington because someone thinks they represent them well? Just because people don't agree with your opinions doesn't mean they're wrong. So my advice to you is to get over it and accept it.
Uh, Republicans have run Washington for most of the last 28 years. (Yes, Clinton was president for 8, but for 6 of those had a Republican Congress completely hostil etoward him; yes, Dems have had a slim majority, but not enough to get very much their way.)
So, you blame the party that's been out of power the last generation for all the rpoblems caused by the party that's been IN pwoer all this time.
Truth just isn't in neo-cons.
Obama needs a Congress that won't try to thwart him in everything he tries to do; a Congress that won't keep trying to make EVERYTHING worse for the country.
I just hope people don't lose patience two years from now. They can't work miracles, and there's no way they can ever undo all the damage the Republicans have caused all this time.
It's not stupid to want to turn us from the brink of ruin.
What IS stupid is blaming the powerless for that ruin, and think that those who CAUSED the ruin are the solution to it.
The problem is they chose not to listen to the truth about Obama. They stopped listening to any truths after they heard change. Obama is such a smooth talker, with so much charisma they couldn't see the evil behind the mask. The economic change (this NEW change) was already tried by Teddy Roosevelt back in the 20's which brought about the deep depression. I honestly believe that Obama wants to break out nation so the New World Order will come into play. That's what the Clinton's tried to do when they were in.
However it is easy to be blinded by evil. I feel bad for those who chose to ignore the truth because they wanted change so badly. They will get their change but they won't like it. Or just maybe they will be too ignorant to notice.
If Obama raises the taxes on big business, it won't be big business that looses, it will be us. Big business will only raise their prices to compensate for the taxes and we all loose.
When it hits them in their pocket book, (and it will, without a doubt) maybe then they will see what they have truly done.
With taxes being raised, if someone wins a million dollar lottery, they will be giving the government $750,000.00 of it. Not hardly worth buying the ticket. Huh?!
Obama isnt for change, he is for more of the same. A lot more. Lets spend ourselves rich.

My back breaks Break unevenly in my 2001 Hyundai Sante Fe. What could it be and how can i fix it?
I went to get my inspection done on my vehicle and failed. Because my breaks where ';unbalanced';. So I took my car to a mechanic with a note saying my breaks where unbalanced. They resurfaced my rotors which were only 6 months old, changed my breaks, and changed the brake fluid. I went back and it failed once again for the same reason. What else could this unbalanced breaks be? From what the guy at the inspection facility explained to me it檚 that my back wheels are breaking unevenly, and that is also what檚 causing my wheel to shake when I do break. Please help! I have a month to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it. Also it's a 2001 hyundai sante fe.!My back breaks Break unevenly in my 2001 Hyundai Sante Fe. What could it be and how can i fix it?
I have been in the car business for over 10 years, with Hyundai for over 5 and I have never heard of unbalanced brakes. What I think they may be telling you is your caliper is sticking.
Brake systems are simple. You apply the pedal, fluid is sent to the caliper, a piston extends and pushes the pads against the rotor, slowing the vehicle.
There are generally more problems with rear brakes simply because they don't have to work as hard as the front. I suggest a brake service. The technician should remove the pads and service them and the slides, the caliper assembly is sanded for rust and treated with a special lubricant.
I'm not sure of the regulations in your state, but in NY, you only fail a vehicle inspection if your brakes are metal to metal.
Hyundai suggests front and rear brake services every 15,000 miles.

Change - Strategies for ?
Do you have any ideas on how to make change successful? I'm talking about life changes, specifically breaking bad habits and living a more fufilling life. I want to change an aspect of my life and i think i'll need to change my thinking, my attitude and actions. I'm not very confident and i don't know where to start but i know the important thing is to just do it.
Can you share some ideas or experiences that helped you when you decided to improve your living?
Thanks alotChange - Strategies for ?
You have to want to do something bad enough in order to be successful. Two years ago I quit smoking- never thought it would happen but I so desperately wanted to - I think that was key. I replaced smoking with exercise. As I started to feel better, it started to get easier. The reward was how psychically healthy I felt. Good luck, pray a lot and only stick with the positive influences in your life, the people who will encourage you to be the fantastic person you want to be.Change - Strategies for ?
Here is the number one rule when going through a life change:
YOU NEED TO FIND SOMETHING TO FILL THE VOID.
When you give up a part of your life, you should always try to find something to fill that hole that you old actions left. This could be a new hobby like running or photography. It could be a new habbit, like playing with your dog or chewing gum. Anything really. Just fill it with a GOOD habit so as to not fall into another self-destructive pattern.

I am looking for a tool to change a broken light bulb.?
I have 30 foot ceilings with recessed(can) lights and change my light bulbs with a tool on a pole. One of my bulbs is broken and I don't know how to get it out. I can't get on a ladder to reach it either. Someone told me there's some kind of tool I can put on the end of my pole that will work. I can't find anything like that though. I need a LINK to where I can buy such a thing. Please help and thanks.I am looking for a tool to change a broken light bulb.?
you could find a way to attach a potato (cut in half) to a broomstick and use it to stick onto the broken end of the bulb and slowly unscrew it. But that's if you wanted to go the ';el-cheap-o'; route.I am looking for a tool to change a broken light bulb.?
Lowe's and Home Depot have em. Make sure they will reach 30 feet. It is basically a spring type socket that goes over the bulb and then you turn the bulb out. Put a new one in the thingy and put it back in.
Menard';s Lowe's, and Home Depot. I have seen them at Lowes a few times.
I am not sure how long they are but I know at church we bought one and it can remove the bulbs that are over twenty feet in the air. It uses springs to help hold the bulbs and then tightens around them when you turn them.
I have found for future use we spray a little WD-40 on the base of the bulbs before we put them back in. This does help with corrosion and when we have to take them back out. Also something else we have done is to buy 130 volt light bulbs not 120 volt bulbs they last longer and we have not had to replace any of these 130 volt bulbs since we put them in.
go to homedepor or ikea
I usually use a cut potato but since your ceilings are so high you need an adaptor for your pole.

Go to home depot or lowes and see what they have to attach to your pole.
Try the baking potao cut to fit on the end of the pole using duct tape.
