cant get any luck

bigbluemonkey · April 11th, 2008, 07:42 PM

so after i go and get my valve stem repaired, was pretty happy...only 8 bucks and 20 minutes of work...i start driving around...and i hear this "knocking" in the front of my suspension...

and now the bastards are closed and i gotta wait till tomorrow morning to go give them a piece of my mind and fix whatever the hell they messed up...

dammit...any ideas? suspension really isnt my forte

silver99gt · April 11th, 2008, 07:45 PM

are ya sure its suspension and is it on the same side as the tire they repaired?

bigbluemonkey · April 11th, 2008, 07:48 PM

everytime i turn or hit a bump i hear that knock...well nearly every time (id say 90%) and the tire they fixed was the front passenger and i hear the knock most when i turn to the left...not so much the right (if at all) and this wasnt there when i left my car in their "good" hands

00redgt · April 11th, 2008, 07:48 PM

so they replace a valve stem an then ur car;s front end starts knocking,first i would jack it up an check it yourself before u went an started bitching them out,may be something they didnt do

silver99gt · April 11th, 2008, 07:51 PM

maybe a ball joint....you kind of have me stumped, just have to see what the pros here have to say.

nah dont get me wrong its not like im sure they screwed something up...and me going would be more just asking what they did...no yelling...that doesnt solve anything...but yea i already jacked it up and i couldnt see anything wrong but thats not saying much cuz like i said i know very little about this

post pics.

all they did was take the tire off your car .. they didn't touch your suspension so no need to go back to them.

Does it feel like it slams, when you hit a bump, or just a clunk noise. Describe a knocking noise, repetitive noise , or just when hitting a bump. Help us out give us more info and we'll help you.

check your lug nuts

GTsetGO · April 11th, 2008, 09:35 PM
