The prop shaft bearing is the driveshaft bearing and is what I mentioned earlier on in this thread. It is common for it to fail. Not always necessarily the BEARING itself, but the whole support...

The jerking that I think we are mostly talking about feels exactly like letting off the throttle and downshifting one gear where engine braking starts to slow the vehicle down. It's not a clunk or a...

If grip is important, the pilot sport is better than the primacy - the primacy is a superior road / touring tire, though.

While we're on this topic, is it normal for these cars to have valve noise at low speed, low RPM? (eg: parking lot speed, 1200 - 1500rpm)

The valve noise is loud enough to hear a clacking inside...
