GEO PRISM NEEDS HELP
We're talking about a mid-90's GEO Prism with 80-some K miles. It seems like it's about ready for a new set of CV joints. My first clue was when it started making a clicking/grinding type noise when I made a left turn. Now it's happening on right turns as well. Is this something I can fix in my driveway or do I need to go to "the pros"? Also, what would a fair price range be if I take it to a shop? I tried to call "Click and Clack" on NPR but no luck. What do you smart folks out there think? I have to come up with a good answer soon. This is the girlfriend's car and I think you know what that means! >>> Roadie Ric
