My car failed inspection and I was told the there was some play in the front tires, can you help me understand what this means? Also there is a hose that needs to be replaced bacause the coolant leaks out and the car overheats, can you tell me, is there a name for this hose or where it is located? Thank you

Hi there,

I feel that they may be referring to excessive wheel bearing play, (with the wheel jacked up there should be no movement of the wheel rocking it top to bottom) this is a big job and there are special tools required, this is best left to a qualified mechanic, as for the coolant leak, there are about 6-8 different hoses on the engine, so with out seeing it I can't tell you which one it is.
