Brothers girlfriend dropped her car off last week at my house for a oil change. I noticed the top balljoint was really worn. I told her its dangerous and even explained what can happen if she ignores it for too long. "Oh im going to trade it in, in a few weeks,its fine."




I got a call tonight. THANKFULLY she was just turning into zaxby's and it let go. taking the cv axle,lower joint,bent wheel,few other things and a fender. So now she has no car,85.00 tow bill,and over 250.00 in damage all because she didnt care enough to fix it. Hell, i was going to do it for $75.00 for BOTH of em,including the oil change.

I understand if moneys tight,but she has it.

 

For her Lesson Learned ! for you charge her for all the labor

 

jeezzzzzzzzzzzz , one of my buddies sheered while driving down the highway........... rough day for him.

 

Geo,im not the one fixing it. Shes getting her uncle to do it. Im glad i dont have to touch it.


its a ford thunderturd by the way.

 

dont blame ya

sucks when people low ball you for there mistakes

 

thats why i believe safety checking your own vehicle should be part of drivers training.
i look at this way...you get a job with any machine they train you..including danger signs.
but give any idiot a lic. and a ton of sheet metal and say good luck!!
if you cant inspect your equipment you shouldnt be using it.
i dont expect everyone to know how to fix things...but man!! every year i see at least 6 of these type of people at an intersection with one wheel pointing in the opposite direction of there front.

and yes i know some states mandate this stuff...but that is too much.
how about some personal responsibility when driving.....ughhhh

vent mode off.

 

I remember i was at a gas station last summer. OLD man pulled up in a old lincoln and the front right tire was almost laying in. I told him that it needed to be fixed. He said its been like that for almost a year that he only drives it down to the store and back..

Why has a policeman NOT picked up on that yet?

 

lol for you to get your drivers lic in italy you need to show them how to change a tire

tell them what kind of engine it has and all the specs of it

You also need to show them you can down shift going down hill

and much more

NOW THATS A TEST !

 

Wanna change my balljoints and do my oil change for $75??? :P

 

If they have been replaced before and has 3 bolts,YES


rivets? start walking and dont talk to me. :P
