- What exactly holds a drive shaft into a FWD transmission, and how to . . .
I am replacing all of the struts on my 2004 Toyota Corolla with new quick-struts I already did the passenger side, which was not too difficult, and cleaned up the rotor with a sanding block and fine-grit sandpaper, and replaced the brake pads Today, I pulled the driver side strut, and even though I put something under the control arm to prop it up, the drive shaft pulled out of the
- FWD car ok or AWD a necessity? (Minneapolis, St. Paul: neighborhoods . . .
4WD and AWD are different systems, and not all AWD systems are the same While FWD with a good set of tires is a sound choice, a good AWD or FWD system can give you that extra margin of comfort that you won't get stuck Again though, the right tires will make all the difference in the world

If you are concerned enough about winter driving, your answer is you need winter tires FWD mini vans with winter tires are good snow vehicles AWD with winter tires is better but there are extra maintenance, repair, and higher fuel costs to consider You pay a lot for the benefits of AWD over the life of the vehicle
