When my driver side bushing was torn, the car was very unstable at speeds >30. My car felt like a boat. Just look at the bushing. My passenger bushing is torn, but not as bad as my driver side was. The car feels a bit unstable on some bumps at highway speed, atm and that's from my passenger side. Also, experiencing some steering wheel shake.

Why not just pedal the bike? I hear it's supposed to be good for you.™
$350.00 will do fine, if she doesn't aspire to professional status.

I'm 62 and live in the mountains I plan on pedaling as much as I can without hurting myself and being in the mountains I won't have to walk it up the hills.

I think that's what might be the issue then I'm experiencing noise when I reversing and I'm also experiencing steering wheel shake at random speeds at times.

I hear that once in a while but I got accustomed to it but what has me concerned is the random steering wheel shake and pulling to the right. Could the sway bar links have something to do with that?

Yup, bad sway bar links can cause a weird click at times. I think mines need replacing.

Has anyone had their Brake + Battery light show?
I was driving hard down south in Mexico for several miles. At one point, I was approaching 120 mph, and my brake + battery light began to show, but were oddly faint. Once I noticed it, I let off and as I let the car slow down to 80, they both disappeared completely.
Anybody have an idea as to what that may have been? All pads are brand new and fluid level/condition is fine.

I'm 63 and live in the flatlands, ride 14 miles 3 times a week or so, with multiple gears and practice, those hills will get more manageable. I'll admit I've looked into the Honda Ruckus. It's a little scooter that looks sort of like an old Cushman Eagle, but the bicycle is the #1 cardio machine in my garage.

Found out the problem, I tensioned the belt too tight on the water pump/alternator belt.. after 3 weeks of replacing it, it had cracks due to the stress. Just replaced it and lowered the tension. Hopefully, it doesn't squeak tomorrow morning.

Yeah mine squealed off and on last couple of years, two different belts, start quiet first week, but within a few start ups it'd squeal. I tightened it until it scared me, couple or three pros did too. (2 belts)
Probably I'm not the only one.

Does anybody know why my cousins g35 coupes right exhaust has no tone to it at all? But the left one has a sound to it, and when its being driven you dont hear the exhaust like we used to. Seems like air is kinda flowing through the right exhaust but no sound, and the left one is fine.. any ideas?

Ive done that before and it sounded like the air was having a rough time getting thru the right tip. How can i find out if its really clogged or not?
