Services Performed
- Test drove, pulled in, and inspected. Found CEL on prior to service. Lifted and inspected. Found the right lower control arm to new but it was left loose. Because it was left loose I would recommend it being replaced. I tightened it down. Found the left sway bar link bushing blown out and both were loose. Those are now tight but left will make noise and after being left loose I recommend both. The left lower control arm bushing is bad and it needs replaced. Safety inspection; note found brake pull on test drive. While on lift I found front rotors heat cracked. The calipers are sticking and the brake hoses are causing a pull. Recommend all with new pads. Rear pads are at 2mm. We recommend replacing at anything under 2mm. Rotors are thin and will need to be replaced. Per sticker the oil change was due at 128k. It has 140k on it now. I checked oil and found it barely registering on the dipstick. I recommend oil flush and oil change. I also recommend regular oil change intervals to prevent engine wear or worse.
- Pulled front wheel and found right side bolt missing off of axle. Found bolt and installed. Replaced both front lower control arms with new. Tightened to spec.
- Replaced both front sway bar links.
- Performed vehicle alignment, adjusted camber, caster, and toe as available. Test drove and vehicle drove straight. Maxed out camber adjustment on right side. There are no camber bolt add on's available and this would require replacing the strut. Then I recommend both. Customer declined at this time and I adjusted everything as close as I can get it.
- Pulled both front calipers off of rotors and replaced with new. Bled brakes, replaced pads, and replaced rotors.
- Replaced both front brakes hoses and bled system.
- Flushed complete brake fluid system, test drove and verified no leaks.
- Lubricate and check chassis. Change oil and oil filter. Check air filter and breather filter. Check all fluid levels and tire pressures. Preform basic safety inspection. Road test vehicle.
