I recently went to the dealership for noise coming from the control arms. This is the third time I'm going to the dealership for this problem. Brief history on car:
700ish miles hit by drunk driver
2600 miles LCA changed
5800 miles LCA changed
18,xxx miles both front control arms changed
There was additional noise that sounded like clunking coming from the car...metal on metal, and rep. told me that my rear brakes AND rotors had to go. Rotors at 18k? Only done one autocross around 10k miles, rest of the driving has been really easy on brakes.
What do you guys think? He also mentioned that he couldn't test drive the car to see if the CA's work if he doesn't replace the brakes, since he doesn't want to put his mechanic in danger. I was thinking...good thing he didn't notice the tires.
