Next it went onto a cool ramp which shakes the car about as a chap underneath the car looks for movement in the steering & suspension components, which showed there to be slight movement in the drivers side front lower control arm & upon closer inspection showed that the rubber was beginning to split.
Looks like a pair of control arms & a geo next Saturday  |
just had mine on the shaker plates yesterday,,they couldnt find anything,,i was watching also..l was a very tiny amount of play but miniscule,,least i didnt have to pay..
