Hi guys. I recently purchased an auto KF Laser with 318,000 k's for my girlfriend. Its got 7 mths rego and I payed $1,380. It has the folloeing problems though that I need to fix.
CV joints are worn - heavy clicking when wheel turned hard. Engine Mounts need replacing - Heavy vibration when in gear at ideling speeds. If I give it a little gas at ideling speeds the vibration goes away. I was nearly going to bump up the idle speed as a temporary fix. My question is can I fix these conditions myself? I have an engine lifter and am semi mechanically minded. I work on boats a little but not really cars so i'm new to this. I work night shift and sleep through the day so I haven't had a chance to speak to a mechanic. Any Idea what it will cost to fix these conditions? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks... PS... Could this be done with second hand parts??? |
