hi i have a ford laser which is pretty old its run into a couple of problems, i will list them in order and maybe if you know what causes these problems and how to fix them i would appreciate your time on this.
car is an auto, and it viabrates, inside steering and dash all shake and can feel shaking through the rest of the car, could this be the engine mounts? noise coming from right hand fron wheel only when turning it sounds like a clunk, and is there most of the time whilst driving, is it safe to drive or needs urgent attention, how much to fix just incase? recently the car has from time to time stalled, its an auto i have no idea why it does that, what causes a car to stall randomly especially an auto? is this a major problem and how much would this cost to repair or how hard would it be to fix any specific thing to look out for in the engine bay that causes this? i think thats about it, i was wondering about how hard it would be to do these things yourself fix them up i mean, are there pictures and step by step guides on here to repair some of the above if anyone knows please send a link? thanks michael |

If the engine isnt misfiring, then it is most likely your engine mounts gone hard. Or the idle speed may be too low. Thats why it might be stalling too.
Dont know about the clunk unless its your CV joint. To hard to tell without hearing it. |
