Car noises and possible cause/s.
1. Whereas worn brake pads screech, worn rotors and pads combi do screech too. It's important to get the pads replaced on time before they cost you the rotors/ discs as well.

Learn to differentiate the noises, or rather let a professional do for you. The important step is to get ot checked immediately you notice 'unusual' sounds/ noises when driving.
A rattle can also be caused by a stretched timing chain or worn chain tensioner. Either way, get it checked before your engine is wrecked.
Now that we are heading to peak season let me do a quick repost of competent MECHANICS around Nairobi and other cities/towns.

Another monday let's talk about this New GR Corrola Morizo Edition 304hp and 400nm , 1.6L & No Rear Seats.

Toyota GR took ultra-hot GR Corolla to the garage and figure out how to add power, reduce weight and enhance handling keeping an eye on building a car that’s ready to jump from the street to the track. after tweaking, testing and re-testing, they come away with a MORIZO
Morizo edition exclusive specs like close gear ratio transmission, shorter differential gears, forged wheels, stiffened chassis, front brake ducts, mono-tube shock absorbers and Ultrasuede trimmed seating and cabin features
It was the beginning of this year started budgeting for my first car and I had to do some research on the car to buy also into consideration with my budget after few months of looking around and enquiring I settled with AE91 toyota corolla.
For its reliability and also availability of the spare parts and most importantly Pocket friendly.I went ahead into the market to look for one and I settled with one owned by a senior citizen who I respect much to date. We had some sitting with him first to be given some advice.
Advice on cars which took long hours at around 5pm. The catching part..we decided to do a road test for the machine we fueled it at kiambu town total(old kiambu) the destination was to waginge and back on my perspective I raised a comment to mzee I don't have enough cash with me
Some of the features you may be having on your car but you haven't/don't know how to use. 1. cruise control (CC). This feature allows you to set desired speed on manual & automatic cars. Most cars will allow this feature on speeds higher than 50kph or 60kph
2. Adaptive cruise control (ACC). This feature allows cruise control (set desired speed) plus it adjusts the speed depending on the speed of the car in front of you, without going over the set speed. It is applicable in urban and highway driving in most cars.
3. Auto hold (Automatic Electric parking/handbrake).This feature (when ON) engages parking brake automatically every time the car comes to a halt using the service (leg)brake)eg. Traffic lights, parking lot etc. It disengages with the touch of accelerator. Perfect in city traffic

The lights give extreme headaches and also distract drivers. They are not allowed when you are on a busy road with traffic unless you hide them or turn them off. These illumination lights are famous for being extremely bright and powerful.
Having them, which is wrong in regular traffic, can blind the oncoming drivers, causing accidents.

WHY IS GEARBOX FAILURE SUCH A BIG DEAL?
A malfunctioning gearbox/transmission, as opposed to a broken brake light, could strand you & your vehicle on the side of the road in the middle of the night or on a long trip
So, how can you know if a gearbox needs repair or replacement?

1. FLUID LEAKAGE
To reduce friction & overheating, Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is incorporated in automatic gears. If this fluid starts to leak it'll contribute to gearbox failure, in fact
ATF leaks are normally a bright red fluid found under the engine in a leaking car

You should know the reasons why your car's steering wheel gets stiff as it will help you to spot the signs early and take preventive measures for the vehicle for servicing.
🤚If you neglect it and wait for the situation to get worse as it can put you s well as other motorists in trouble.
Without your car's steering system, you could only drive in a straight line, no turns, no changing lanes.

DIESEL ENGINE MAINTANCE.
A diesel engine is more complex than a petrol engine,invented in 1893 by Rudof Diesel its not like a typical petrol engine that you can just hop into when the mood strikes,the diesel engine requires a great deal of maintenance eg;the V8 diesel engine 2008

Diesel engines are internal combustion engines which means they work by burning fuel inside of them,diesel engines use high compression to ignite the mixture in their cylinders.Most of these are 4 stroke cycle engines,meaning for strokes are needed to complete a cycle
Diesel engines typically have more torque than petrol engines,which means that they have more power at low speeds because the diesel fuel contains alot more energy that doesn't get used up until it is needed by the vehicle or equipment that's operating under its power.
WHY IS IT WITH GERMAN CARS THAT ONCE THE HIT 100K KM(NOT AN EXACT FIGURE)AND MORE THEY START TO REQUIRE A GREAT DEAL OF MAINTENANCE AND OFTENLY COSTLY?
German cars are just cars,they aren't annointed by God with special powers,some are more reliable than others,others arent.

Take Audi’s 5 link front suspension. It is wonderful and provides for an amazing high speed cornering experience. Unfortunately they use 5 ball joints on each front corner instead of the typical 2. That’s 3 extra ball joints which will wear out and require replacement at a not..
inexpensive price. The worst part is, most people who buy those cars will never notice the benefits in handling as they commute to work in stop and go traffic. It’s unnecessary! The engineers however just had to make a “perfect” front suspension that benefits 2% of the buyers.

Before we dive into our topic which is "Bad Control Arm Bushing", please let's start with the Suspension System of your vehicle.
The suspension system of any vehicle consists of tires, wheels, shock absorbers, springs, joints, bearing, and bushings.

Mitsubishi Motors started producing Evo in 1992.
Evo became overnight success and this was one of the reason as to why a previous model which was Mitsubishi Galant VR-8 was discontinued.

Mitsubishi Evo had 10 generations before it sadly ceases its productions in 2015.
Evo generations were unique, to the extent of using Roman numbers instead of normal english numbers.
Therefore, the 1ˢᵗ Generation is known as I, while the last generation is termed X.

Piston hufanya kazi kwa ushirikiano katika engine na kusababisha kuizungusha crankshaft.
Crankshaft inapozunguka hupeleka nguvu katika gear box hadi kwenye differential kupitia propeler na hatimaye tairi kutembea.

A shock absorber is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses.
This is achieved by converting the kinetic energy (movement) of the shock into thermal energy, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere through the mechanism of heat exchange.
This is achieved by converting the kinetic energy (movement) of the shock into thermal energy, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere through the mechanism of heat exchange.
The key role of the shock absorber is to ensure that the vehicle’s tires remain in contact with the road surface at all times
Shock absorbers automatically adjust to road conditions because the faster the suspension moves, the more resistance they provide.

GoK is set to exempt locally assembled passenger cars from VAT and excise taxes, a move that could see prices of the automobiles fall by hundreds of thousands of shillings. — Business Daily #Budget2022KE #SpaceYaMagari
This will see the cars exempt from the entire major taxes that are applicable on fully-built units imported from overseas markets like Japan, the UK, and South Africa.
Cars manufactured abroad are charged an import duty of 25%, excise duty of 20%, and VAT of 16%, payable cumulatively and in that order.
When selling your built car, people will never understand your price point and how much has been put into it. A 1995 Impreza GC or GF that costs 270,000 to buy, will cost you about 500,000 on top to make it a full spec WRX. This is a simple breakdown. Thread!
