I'm very familiar with the shop, they're definitely paying more than minimum wage. The lowest paid guy was $25 hr, he was qualified to sweep, that's about it and they had him working on cars. I've got 6 other cars here that came out of there. $125 an hour for you to get your car back in not...
After looking at front end closely, I ordered a complete rebuild kit. The upper ball joints look brand new except the boots are destroyed and not a drop of grease ever put in. The spindles are new along with the disc kit. Not sure why the other shop didn't address these issues. They also didn't...
Thanks, I'll check that one other thing I noticed when driving it, if you drive along slow and cut the wheel left or right, the wheel will continue to turn that way if you let go and the car will dart in that direction
Rebuilt the coupler, made a night and day difference in the feel of the steering wheel, much tighter. Now when driving, the car has memory steer. If I turn it one way or the other, it stays rather than going back to center.
There is definitely play where the steering shaft goes into the coupler. I removed the steering column and the coupler fell off the end. I'm guessing the rectangular parts were turned wrong. When I turned them the other other way. I would almost have to tap the coupler back on with a hammer.
I took a video of the coupler but can't figure out how to upload it. When I turn the wheel back and forth, the steering column moves and you can see a slight delay in the coupler moving. I'm guessing the coupler should be tight on the column shaft? The end parts are also just hanging around the...
It's a power box. I'm just assuming they threw it on and sent it on it's way judging by all the other work that wasn't done correctly. Thankfully it ran so bad it couldn't get up to speed or he would have found out he's also only got about 10% brakes
We recently received a car from another shop that had a whole list of problems. All were already paid to be fixed unfortunately. One of the issues is steering. The other shop installed a new steering box, but the steering is awful, I don't think they even drove it, mainly because the brakes...
