On this weeks episode of "What Am I Looking AT?!" we'll keep it simple for you all this week...

Here are the main symptoms you may experience while driving, indicating this part needs replaced:

1. Most vehicle makes have this part as a maintenance replacement when it reaches 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
2. Shows visible signs of physical wear or cracking.
3. High pitch squealing & or chirping noises.

If your vehicle is experiencing any of these symptoms or is between that mileage & you just want it inspected? Give us a call today, message us on here, or go on our website. 🛻

On this week's episode of "What am I looking at?!"

If your vehicle currently has a broken part that looks like this, you may be experiencing the following issues:

1. The car bounces more than usual over small bumps & feels loose or floaty when you take a turn. 🚗
2. Sagging ride height: One corner of the car sits lower than the rest, making the vehicle lean to one side or dip heavily when you brake. 🚕
3. Loud noises: You hear sharp clunk, knocking, or metal rattling sounds coming from the wheel area when hitting a pothole or turning the steering wheel. 🚙
4. Bottoming out: The frame hits the ground or jars hard when you drive over dips or speed bumps. 🛻
5. Poor handling: Steering feels less steady, & stopping distances can get longer because the tires do not stay firmly on the road. 🚕

Does this sound like your vehicle?! Give us a call or you can visit our website & get scheduled today!

On this weeks episode of "WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?!"

Once these parts start to fail, you may experience loud clunking noises going over bumps, loose & wandering steering (like you are coasting), steering wheel vibrations, uneven tire wear, & the car pulling to one side. If ignored for too long this part can separate entirely while driving, causing the suspension to collapse - which can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, especially at higher speeds.
Drop your guess in the comment section below!

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms? Give us a call, go on our website, or you can message us on here to get scheduled today!
