    I finally got my car back a few days ago. had the whole engine replaced and luckily got my pulley and rockers back. no clue how many miles are on the engine. as soon as i drove it i noticed the car vibrated around 2k and when you go from a stop. told the place where i got it fixed and he told me to drive it for a while and if it still did it to bring it back. and theres like a high pitched noise coming from around the rear wheels?? Gah i think im going to buy a bicycle lol

    Just wondering why you would buy a motor without knowing how many miles were on it...so...it could have 250K? Or 12,756? Sorry...IMO I'd like to know what was going in my car whether I paid for it or not...and for the sound in the rear...no way it is the tranny...I don't think your neighbor knows it is FWD

    IIRC when my hubs took a crap you would feel a patterned vibration at a constant speed...like a overlapping thud thud thud thud...hopefully you understand what I'm getting at...if not a easy check if looking under the car at the sway bar behind the brake rotor...sometimes they just like to break
