ltdiver 3 #51 April 17, 2008 Quote ... it was the Sway bar link on the left front... Just got back from the mechanic. (long story, but I'll shorten it here)... They tested the sway bar. Negative. They tested the tie rod. Positive. However, I'd had the dealership test the car the day before and they'd ruled negative on the tie rod and diagnosed the after market brake pads! Pads installed by Goodyear in December of '06. I had the two mechanics counsel together (dealership and Goodyear, where I'd had my brakes done 15 months ago) and the Goodyear mechanic swapped the left and right front brake pads. The sound vanished! Seems that the after market brake pads have a larger tolerance than car manufacturer brake pads. Since the brake pad warranty was for 16 months they honored it. So, is it my long blonde hair and gym toned body that helped me with the deal, or are they just good guys there at Goodyear? (oh, and btw, my car had MUCH MORE mileage than their warranty stated, but they still honored it).

I think we would need pics of said body to determine if it was a factor. Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone! I like to start my day off with a little Ray of Soulshine™!!

billeisele 130 #56 April 17, 2008 i can just hear the mechanics talking now - "you should have seen this hot blonde, we tried to BS her about a brake problem, she kicked our ass, but we still got $40 dollars out of her"Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

However, I happened to catch a look at the new brake pad invoice before he carted them off to install them. They paid $79 to the dealership for something I paid only $40 to them for. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
