Hello,


i brought my 2000 chevy impala ls almost a 10 months ago. i have had routine oil changes and just had another not long ago. while i was at my local oil change shop, they recommended that i get a tranny flush and my filter changed. they said that i'm in need of one. i researched it a little and with the good and the bad info i am somewhat confused. i'm not sure if it is necessary or even good to do. also i've noticed that when i drive and turn the wheel while excelorating i hear a click clank noise every now and then. i was told it could be my axl.

Any suggestions?????

thanks for your time:)
