Cant beleive what the guy that installed my springs did!
soo basically 1 month ago i get my springs installed at my local midas shop.
Pick up the car and drive it home, as i get close to my house i hear a loud banging noise..im like ok spring just settled.. last week been getting a bad creaking/squeaking sound coming front front end... this morning i go buy ramps and load her up on the ramps...i notice a sway-bar end link is unnattached on the right wheel near the top... Soo i bring it back to the guy and he says `wel replace the whole front sway bar end link it was our mistake` Im like , ok please elaborate.... he explains to me that when they did the initial install the guy broke the bolt on the upper end link, soo the service manager just told him to weld it on...WTF no wonder it made noise...the big bang i heard was when the weld broke and the end link came apart.... They ordered a new one and will install it this week.... Can you believe they never told me and just welded the dam piece back on !!!!! Last edited by Ex-stang; 07-28-2010 at 03:14 PM.
