For a couple of weeks my 91 Toyota corolla had made making funny gurgling noises when I stepped on brakes (thinking maybe bad brakes or transmission). Then one day it just started clanging from under left side and hissing..made it home but the left front tire rim and hub cap were HOT to the touch. DH took off wheel checked brakes and pads but they seemd fine. He can't get some kind of bolt off to check the bearings so it may be that or may be the CV joints (it has front wheel drive). Someone told him if it is the bearings, he can't fix those by himself because they are "pressed" ..has to be done at a shop with a machine. He does not know how to check the CV joints either cuz he has never done repair work on those before either ...was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. He is going to auto shop today to get the right size metric wrench to pull off some bolt to check the bearings. He likes to work on cars himself rather than take them in to get fixed which is handy cuz taking it to the shop to get fixed is mucho $$$.
On a happier note, my boss (for almost 15 years and my best friend) bought me a new used car to get to work!! It's a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Limited. It is a huge thing with more features on it than I want or need.. lol it actually scares me to drive it..it has a built-in computer digital displays ..everything power..even trunk closes by itself.. so many buttons I had trouble finding the gas latch..no owners manual either ( I looked but could not find one on the net). There are lots of buttons that say "Pass" "Twighlight" "CT" and other abbreviations..have no idea what they do. I know I will love this car once I get over the fear of driving it but for right now I think I prefer my little Toyota and hoping dh can find a way to fix it.
