| Description of the problem | I started to hear a clunking noise every time i went over any type of bump in july 2016. I took it to the dealership and they stated the sway bar end links needed to be replaced on the left and right side. My warranty wouldn't cover it so it took me a month to come up with the money to fix it. Two days ago right before my appointment to get the end links replaced the right side sway bar ended up breaking off while driving. I noticed it hanging off when i parked. I had it fixed yesterday for $285. When i picked up the car this morning now my eps light is on. Waiting to hear back from the dealership. |
