I am deaf. An colleague at work said “You have a xylophone sound coming from the front of your car!” I wear two powerful hearing aids, yet I have no clue what is meant by this because I Can barely hear a xylophone … any ideas and OH I just moved to Atlanta and need a decent trustworthy mechanic  
  
 Thanks,Xantha

I missed your grammar error completely. About the xylophone sound, I have no idea what your fellow worker could be thinking. Try the “Mechanics Files” on the car talk home page. It’s just down and to the right.
