Question for the mechanics about GMC Yukon

On our 2003 Yukon XL, it has thump when turning left coming from the front right wheel (I think), I have rebuilt the front ends on alot of vehicles, nothing this new though (old by todays standards), I have pulled the wheels off of this thing and took a pry bar to find the loose ball joint or a frame bushing, etc.. and everything feels tight. I have never messed with a torsion bar which this has so not sure if this can cause that or how to even check it. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a project car..

Been looking for ever for the right project car, and I have close a few times but the deals seem to fall thru I had my eye on a 1979 Chevy Monza 2+2 (if you don't know what one is google it, basically like a Ford Pinto with a factory V8), the quality of the car is crap, if you find one with rust it's junk, parts are very hard to find, the one I seen is no rust, I wanted to put a 400HP 350 in it but the old girl won't sell it because it belonged to her dead husband. 1967 Pontiac Firebird, all original, no rust. Original interior was fucked but was all there, ran decent and faded but not rusted original paint. I looked at it several times, tried to get the …

VW GTI, Mini Cooper S or WRX?

So I have a VW Jetta TDI and as you might know it's one of the cars in the emissions cheating scandal. More details are coming June 21 but I'm starting to look at options now. It's said they will buy it back and on top of that give me $5000. Still it has over 140,000 miles on it now. I could opt to keep it and live with whatever "fix" VW adds to it but I assume it will have less power and worse mpg. I'm in "wait and see" mode right now but considering replacements. So... Does anyone have experience with current VW GTI, Mini Cooper S or Subaru WRX (not the STi)? I will not be buying new but late model used. Thanks.

Tractor suggestions?
by JustHatched- 10 replies
- 1.4k views
I know there is some rural types on here besides me, anyway Rose and I are looking to get a new (to us) tractor cuz we had to part ways with the old one because it was old and wore out and we either had to get rid of it while we could or spend a shit load to fix it up. We currently have a small Mistubishi (made by Kubota) but it lacks a loader. It is about half the size of a Ford 8N and really is to small for work around the farm. What we want is something about the size of an 8N that can handle a bucket and pull a mower. Suggestions? We were thinking a Kubota but they are really pricey for a used one and of course there are plenty of 8N's around here but they are ol…

I am doing something Sunday that has been a life long dream of mine. I will be taking a flight in the B17 Flying Fortress Bomber "Aluminum Overcast". I have been in this plane before a couple years ago and was scheduled to fly then but weather scrubbed it. Rose surprised me today with the plane ticket and a membership in the Experimental Aircraft Association. I will do my best to get pics and video of the flight. Edit - the video of my ride on the B-17 (cell phone vid, so not the best quality, turn those speakers up)

Early preview at the upcoming Veyron successor's "official" numbers: http://www.leftlanenews.com/bugatti-chiron-to-get-1500hp-v16-290mph-top-speed-90614.html Please Jesus don't let this come to GTA. Don't need Chrome Adder #2s running around. If those figures are to be believed, 1100 lb-ft of torque is going to be insane. All for $2.2M. So .. $8M GTA dollars? The plethora of special editions following that should be interesting too.

Hello friends I received a gift card for an activity of my choice from a long list of very cool stuff like track run (pilot or passenger), helicopter tour, plane tour, karting, and many other. I'm having trouble picking one in particular so that's where you come in. I love cars and racing so I'm leaning toward a track activity. But a helicopter tour sounds kinda fun as well. I put up the poll so that you guys could easily pick your favorite activities. Please, choose 3 activities maximum. Here's a more detailed list of what I like : Ultralight plane flight (20min flight) Helicopter tour above the Chateau de Chenonceau (6min) 1h …

New Delorean's to be built.

News reports out of Humble, Texas, say the automaker plans to make about 300 replicas of the 1982 DeLorean that has not been in production for 34 years. The company has remained in business by refurbishing old DeLoreans — about 9,000 were originally sold — for enthusiasts. “It’s fantastic. It is a game-changer for us. We’ve been wanting this to happen,” DeLorean CEO Stephen Wynne told TV station KPRC2 in Houston, saying it is possible under a new low-volume manufacturing bill approved by the federal government. “That was a green light to go back into production.” Wynne said he wants to build about four cars a month. Refurbished DeLoreans cost $4…

Well here goes, I hope I will be able keep this thread up to date throughout the rally. The 2016 edition of the Dakar Rally starts near Buenos Aires, Argentina on Jan 2 with a short 10 km stage finishing in Rosario. This is mainly for the fans but the times will count and determine the starting order for Stage 2. On Stage 5 (Jan 7) the riders enter Bolivia. There will be two marathon stages, one rest day and the finish in Rosario, Argentina on Jan. 16 for a total of 12 stages and 9237 kilometers (5739 miles).

The "Anal" Thread (It's not what you think!) 1 2

This could be a horrible idea, it is 1:30 in the morning and I'm tired LOL. I can't take credit; as this was Beez suggestion in another thread (Names of Shame). It was a mention of adding the word "Anal" to the name of passing cars when you're bored. Some don't make sense, some may make you burst out in laughter. So whether its a real car or an in-game GTA car, go ahead and post the name. Ok go. Token xDBx Edited for clarification.

This Friday, November 20 at 6:00am Pacific starts the most historic off-road race in North America, the Baja 1000. Hundreds of bikes, buggies, trucks and quads will leave the start line in Ensenada, Mexico at timed intervals and race south down the west coast of the Baja Peninsula for approximately 450 miles until they loop north and head up the east coast of the peninsula where they finish back in Ensenada for an 840 mile race distance. The course is different each year, some years longer, some shorter, sometimes point to point, sometimes a loop like this year. The idea for the race was born out of a publicity stunt in 1962 by some guys at American Honda to prove the r…

Bentley just made the official announcement on the Bentayga. I've always been amused by the vehicles in GTA. Coquette and new style Baller were available in game well before the real models were on the road too. I've always thought the designers for the game were real car guys for using concept vehicles as inspiration. http://cars.gallery/2015/09/bentley-bentayga/

205Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Babylon (2022) dir Damien Chazelle This is a lavish, epic story (3hr + run time) with a great ensemble cast set in late 20s - early 30s Holywood. Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie get top billing as silent movie mega-star Jack Conrad and new comer Nellie LaRoy respectively. But the star is really Diego Calva as Manny Torres, a Mexican immigrant who just wants to work in the film industry in any type of job can get for a production company, and turns out to have a real feel for what people want to see. The supporting characters also include Jovan Adepo as Jazz trumpeter Sydney Palmer, Li Jin Li as cabaret artist and screenwriter “Lady” Fay Zhu and Jean Smart as movie journalist Elinor St John. There is also cameo late on from Toby Maguire as a very sinister LA gangster who thinks he has some great ideas for new films. It has some great, big. colourful scenes set to music, such as where it starts at a lavish party being thrown by Manny's studio executive boss, complete with drugs, booze, strippers and a performing elephant. It charts the change from silent films to talkies and beyond, showing how some thrive on this whilst for others it ends their careers. It also shows how certain attitudes were at that time, in particular with respect to Sydney, who plays in a black-only Jazz band, because mixed race performances and films were not allowed. It has similarities to a number of other films set at a similar time; Cabaret, The Cotton Club, The Artist, and even Cinema Paradiso in a way. The acting is good all round but Calva and Robbie stand out. Some of the sets and cinematography are stunning. It's maybe a little too long and maybe tries to include too many characters, some of which just disappear from the story later on. But it is still a very good film. 9 / 10- 2

205Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
David Lynch, my favourite filmmaker of all time, died yesterday aged 78. Not only did he make some of the best films I've ever seen - Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive - but was also, by all accounts, a wonderful person who was just as strange as his films. I think this video sums him up perfectly and, if you've never seen any of his work, will make you want to check them out (I'd start with The Elephant Man).- 2

Was it a vehicle that you do not own I assume? I feel the downside in getting fairly even vehicles are the stock/custom difference.
