Places like Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts can check the compression on the cylinders with a gauge. Low pressure means bad rings on your pistons. Also, smoking exhaust is a sign of bad rings. Hope this helps.

Kemore 200 series not spinning bypassed the door switch?.

If your Kenmore 200 series washer is not spinning, bypassing the door switch may not solve the problem as the door switch is an important safety feature that prevents the washer from spinning while the door is open. If the door switch is faulty or not working properly, it may need to be replaced.
There are a few other things that could be causing your washer to not spin. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
  1. Check the load: If the washer is overloaded, it may not spin properly. Try reducing the size of the load and see if that helps.
  2. Check the belt: If the belt that drives the washer drum is loose or broken, the washer may not spin. Check the belt for any signs of damage and replace if necessary.
  3. Check the lid switch: If the lid switch is faulty or not working properly, it may prevent the washer from spinning. Open the lid and check the switch for any signs of damage or wear. If necessary, replace the switch.
  4. Check the motor coupling: If the motor coupling is worn or broken, it may prevent the washer from spinning. Check the coupling for any signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary.
  5. Check the motor: If the motor is faulty or not working properly, it may prevent the washer from spinning. Check the motor for any signs of damage or wear and replace if necessary.
If none of these troubleshooting steps solve the problem, it may be best to contact a professional repair service for further assistance.

I own a 2012 jeep grand cherokee at 29 000 car showed a coolant sign then told the engine ceased what could be the cause

The engine probably over heated ( coolant sign) and the stoppage may be the CPU shutting down the engine to prevent damage . have a pressure test done on the cooling system to check for leaks ( punctured radiator cores) hoses--welsh plugs . have a compression test done to check for cracked head and head gasket problem. If the car has been in sub zero temperatures there may be internal damage to the cooling system

Lower part of wheel is bending under car

The sway bar gives from side to side so I doubt your problem is in that. Of course it is really hard for me to pinpoint your problem without inspecting the vehicle, how hard did the vehicle hit the curb? If it hit it pretty hard and severely bent the lower control arm, I would suspect that you have some frame damage.

You need to really inspect the frame where the lower control arm mounts, it may help to look at the other side and compare it to the damaged side. You'll be looking for slight wrinkles or bends in places near where the control arm mounts or follow back and keep looking for any signs of slight signs of damage.

And, are we talking about the front, rear or both on the vehicle?
If it's the rear, the rear is weaker than the front. Follow the frame rail all the way towards the middle and look for signs of damage.

If you look closely, you should be able to find the damaged area.
It being a '94 it doesn't take much damage for your insurance to total the vehicle out, (if you happen to have full coverage insurance and file it.)
I hope this may help.

Signs of clutch and gearbox failure

If you drive it easy and don't take off lie a rabbit and drive like grandma it would be possible to miss clutch wearing out. As far as gearbox damage is concerned it depends on how long you let it go before fixing. If you have to shove it into gear you can damage syncros and bend shift forks. And if it goes long enough that would ruin the gears and bearings with enough metal in the oil that could wear shaft and bearings. You will get clutch chatter and your performance will be poor mileage will drop. And the clutch chatter can cause the flywheel to be damaged and need to be surfaced, it could burn up the slave cylinder, so it is not wise to let it go, as it will cost more money.
