Because all vehicles have different torque specs for lug nuts (and some even have multiple options depending which wheels you have) installing lug nuts without using a torque wrench is playing your own personal game of roulette.

MY issue with the engine flush, is in the cylinder. Over time, we will develope scoring in the cylinder walls. These will be filled with "sludge". When you clean this out, you start blow by. Now, you take an older vehicle with 150k, there will be ALOT of scoring, thus resulting in ALOT of blow by!! I am more inclined to remove my oil pan, clean the sludge out, then do a quick oil change. I usually only go 500 miles then change oil again.

Also look at cv axles...very common to make noises when turning tight

I was on Ebay earlier and the middle portion of the bumper was on there.

I am getting into this late, and as a shop manager that works on all vehicles, my knowledge is not Pathy exclusive. But as a rule of thumb, a vibration is not caused or fixed by an alignment. A nearly CONSTANT vibration suggests loose or worn parts (bearings, tie rods, bushings, ball joints, etc), a vibration that occurs at a speed window ( usually a 5 to 10 mph window) is something out of round or balance (tire out of balance or bad tire).
