I Bought a 2000 impala 3.4 have couple of question on it.
1- Speeding on highway after 70 mph the car shakes a little but I know both of the cv joints are bad and I think the rack and opion is bad also because I see grease all over the place wonder if thats the problem

2- On the passenger side I notice one morning that it was wet I thought I spilled water or something but I was drinking and then 3 days later SMOKE was coming out the vents and smell like anti freeze. What can the problem be and how should I ask someone about that

3- How do you check your mpg

4- I want to hook up a chip to the intake and buy a new intake and buy the gas saver that gives you more milage. Would all of this give my car more power

5- I want 22;s on it and lambo doors and i seen a impala with the sides that matches the car thats hot please write back I know its a lot but this would mean a lot

1. This can be caused by a few things, mainly bad inner CV joints can cause a shimmy under load at high speeds. These are really noticeable when accelerating above 40-50mph while the car is bouncing. Another thing is out of balance tires.

2. That is definitely a bad heater core. Have it replaced ASAP!!

3. Fill up the tank and record your mileage. Drive until you have racked up at least 35-40 miles. Fill up the tank again and record mileage and gallons put in. Figure how many miles you have drove in between fill-ups, then divide the miles by the gallons. For example, if you drove 100 miles on 4 gallons, you'd get 25mpg.

4. The little air intake temp chips are a rip-off. The little tornado's that you put in the intake tube are too(in my opinion). Buy a good K&N Air Filter and a less restrictive muffler and you'll see 10-15 hp gains and a few miles per gallon more.

5. I'm not sure if 22's will fit in the fender wells...As for the lambo doors, just type "lambo doors" in a google search, there's a lot of manufacturers listed.

hehehey

For an estiment how much would it cost for a heat core and I did check the tires they all balance and I just got back in the car and now its both sides that is wet on the floor and the anti freeze is going fast

Expect to pay around $70 for the heater core.

22's will fit, but you will lose the nice ride that the impala has. the more rim and less tire = bumpier ride. the tire of the car absorbs the bumps in the road, so the less tire, the less bumps it absorbs. but 22's will fit. 20's look really nice and im sure you'ld still be happy with 18's or 19's.


and the lambo doors expect to pay about $1500 plus shipping and install.

70.00 for the heater core and 700.00 labor to pull the dash and install it.......

hehehey

700 I know how to take apart the dash board because I had to do that for installing a radio so Would I be able to do it my self and what about the wet carpet its very wet on the passenger side. Can it been done as a DO it your self project or a professional if its a do it your self do you need any special tools oh yea 20 would be nice I thinking off all black background with the chrom glider and the lambo door Yes that would look hot on the 2000 impala one more thing o'riley have a sale on flow master the single out would that make nice noise and more power to the car I always wanted flow master I had a 92 crown victoria but I sold it and I was going to add that on

hehehey

ok for the mean time i did a by pass on the heater core
