67 plate SEAT IBIZA FR today.
Customer wanted Drivers shocker replacing as I done the passenger side a few months ago. Customer complained there was a knocking noise coming from drivers front side. This has had new springs put on the car from a garage (not naming who) and the ball joint nut wasn’t genuine or tightened down correctly causing an awful knock when going over bumps, really bad play when turning the wheel left to right by hand and in the steering.
Got a new ball joint same day as customer didn’t want to run the risk of the old one being damaged. Fitted the new ball joint whilst also carrying out the repair for a replacement shocker.
I have advised this customer to get new track rod ends as the boots on them have split.🔧✅
