A Dodge Charger came into HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire for a tire alignment earlier this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before performing an alignment, our technicians check the vehicle\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his inspection, Ray noticed clay on the lower ball joints on the left, front side and recommended a new lower control arm and a ball joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New subframe needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When installing the lower control arm, he found the subframe was bent from some sort of impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the subframe holds the engine, Ray needed to use a special hoist to hold the engine while he put in the new subframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This situation is a good example of why you shouldn\u2019t hide or leave out information when talking to a technician or service adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can save time and money by sharing as much information as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
