Also, you know you're a geek when you refer to an accord as a 97SE. Too bad you didn't buy a '98.

Yes, you need a timing belt. ~$400.

I'd like to see pics of the 93 bumper that "fits".

If you don't want to use paragraphs at least give the readers some cliff notes.

would a timing belt have to do with the steering and vibrating problems im experiencing? im not quite sure that the bumper was a 93 but it was a bumper that had smaller holes for the turn signal lights then on the actual model bumper for my car so after the deer wreck the guy that worked on my car replaced the bumper and he had to replace 1 front turn signal and kept the other one just put it in the hole for it on the bumper and the hole was way bigger then the light it did not fit right, and thats what he told me they had done to my car previously used a older style bumper on it instead of the actual 97 style bumper with the smaller turn signal light holes

I'll give you a helpful reply shortly after you frame a comprehensible sentence. This is like listening to Edith Bunker describe car troubles!

Jesus christ man.

Paragraphs,
Sentences start with a CAPITAL and end with a PERIOD, COMMAs can also be useful.

started to read but lack of proper sentence usage (capitals, paragraphs etc) made it difficult and I stopped.. Short posts ok for crappy structure, but longer ones NEED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[as the car has been sitting the front rotors it took the mechanic like 2 hours to get them off cuz they where rusted on soo bad] they where going to initially shave the rotors but decided that it would be best to just replace them and the brake pads.

8 commas
1 proper period
a couple question marks
and couple of apostrophes

my headache from reading this: priceless.





Edit: on a more serious note: after reading your post:

Like someone mentioned before, if the timing belt hasn't been done yet, get that done asap. It may or may not have something to do with your power steering failing. If one of the accesory drive belts are loose then this may explain why the powersteering is intermittently going in and out. Or maybe the brakect for the power steering pump is broken.

As far as the vibrations your are feeling in the front end of the car, take the car to a frame and alignment shop and have them check the front suspension for any bent pieces, such as the control arms, shock forks, spindle, subframe, etc. Make sure the engine mounts are intact; I believe there are four, front rear left and right. Get the wheels checked for bends, and have them corrected. Make sure the axles aren't bent as well. Make sure all teh suspension bushings are good as well and not rotted out or craked.

When they replaced teh front rotors and pads, did they do a complete brake fluid flush as well? Did they rebuild the old calipers, or use rebuilt calipers? Did they do anything with the rear drum brakes, such as rebuild or replace the cylinders, and shoes and drum?


Oh, and year make model, auto or manual. I know its a 97 accord se lx, how is that?

its a 1997 honda accord LX special edition with 93,337 miles, automatic

im not quite sure whats wrong with it the guy that sold it to me i think just slapped a inspection sticker on it and didn't really care about it being street legal. they just replaced the front rotors and pads they didn't do any other work. the back brakes remain untouched and it only seems to squeel when im at really low speeds like upon stopping at a stop sign or traffic light. I was told the timing belt was changed but I don't know for sure, the car does not have any problems starting or running after i turn it off (I hear that would be sympthoms of a bad timing belt). I may just wait till my next inspection or until something breaks to get it fixed, except for the rear break pads and rotors maybe, as the car sat for a very long time and i can tell they're really really rusted just from looking at them.

I think you need to take your car to a mechanic because no one on here can tell you what's wrong with your car without looking at it themselves of course you can take pics and post them but I doubt someone would be able to tell you what's wrong with it anyways do you have an OBDII scanner because you might be able to use that to find out what's causing the problem on your car of course you could always take it to the dealer and let them fix the problem for you.

Brakes shouldn't cause that much vibration unless you have some seriously messed up rotors; if the rotors were that bad, your brakes would be dragging.

I have rebuilt calipers on my car, and they work great..if your brakes don't stick, that shouldn't be an issue. As TechnoKid said, have your suspension checked out..wheels/tires too (bent, out of balance, etc).

Super long sentences w/ few punctuations and no paragraphs. I motion for a ban.
