A wheel bearing was making noise. The garage thought it was the front right and changed that bearing. Noisy wheel bearing. The garage replaced the front right bearing due to incorrect diagnosis. It was the rear right wheel bearing; defective due to rust penetrating the inside dust seal allowing water and salt to destroy it. Another $270! |

Sway bar rubber bushings (rear) worn out and replaced. Car clunked going over bumps or uneven road. |

Rear sway-bar bushing replaced 4 months ago. A rusty bracket bolt twisted off, but the shop didn't replace it, so the other bolt and bracket broke. Brackets and mounting plates cost $180, so scrapped the rear sway-bar! Drives OK, as before. |
