I have a 2005 Chevy Cobalt and the rear right tire is slowly leaking. It loses a little more than 0.5 PSI per day. Optimal tire pressure is 30 PSI. I checked the sidewall, and there don’t appear to be any tears. My car has not been in any accidents recently, so I have no idea what it wrong with it. What is the cheapest way to solve this problem?

How much does it cost to replace the thing on my car that holds the tire on?

I recently had a flat tire when I went to change it one of the four bolts or screws broke off. The actual metal which the bolt connects to broke. How much does it cost to replace that on a compact car such as a nissan sentra. And might sound crazy but is it possible to get by with out one in the mean time? I mean there are 3 other tight bolts holding the tire on?

My truck is making a “wu wu wu wu” sound going down the road. It is not constant, sometimes it happens and sometimes does not. I’m not sure if it’s a wheel bearing or a bad tire?

2000 mitsubishi eclipse. When the car is started in cold weather and not fully warmed up for at least 20 minutes of so, it feels like the right front tire is flat (clunking) but it’s not. Gradually the flat tire feel disappears completely due to the car warming up. What could possibly be wrong?
