| Description of the problem | In december i had taken my jeep in for new brakes as they went bad and was told my front control arms were bad and going to need replaced. I couldn't afford it at the time and it seemed to be running ok. In may it was running terrible, very shaky and bumpy. When i took it in i was told front control arms and bushings and one back control arm and bushings were all bad/broken. As a result of that i also ruined my tires and had to replace those as well. At the repair time only had about 56000 miles on it. This was a very costly repair as well. (over 1600 dollars total and that is with a discount i get). |
