“You described what a bad wheel bearing sound (SIC) like”. Perhaps, but it more likely to be symptomatic of a bad torque converter lock-up mechanism in the transmission. :thinking:

The steering looseness and vibrations really should be fixed if you are going to use the car at all. It could mean a sudden loss of control and a terrible accident. You are describing the warning signs. The other stuff also sounds serious in that you could be stranded. But you or other people injur…

The IRS allows a $.54 1/2 cent a mile deduction for business use of a car. If your employer is not reimbursing you that muck, you are losing money b…

I suspect the OP may be a person under 25 years of age . They rear ended a vehicle - have some sort of delivery job that they use their own vehicle for - a vehicle that has so many problems that it would be silly to spend the money on - I can’t even imagine how much the insurance must be - this is a…
