| Description of the problem | While making a right turn i heard a loud pop then a thump like something falling on the back floor and hitting the side of the car. Thought, at first it was the items in my back cargo space rising up and falling as if i hit a speed bump too fast. I was only turning onto another road when i heard the loud noise. I took the car to a place that gave free estimates and they discovered the drivers side sway bar bolt had broke off. They said it was from rusting and it finally gave. Was recommended to replace both sides. Not happy as i already put much money into this car after i bought it 3 years ago. |
