Suspension/PowerSteering

asapZ · 01-25-2018, 10:54 PM

Recently just got in an accident, spun out and messed up my whole power steering. I also shattered my wheel barrel which was replaced. I now got my car back and every time i turn my wheels it makes a squeaking/popong sound and everytime i have a bumpy road it also makes that noise. my mechanic work was done by Nissan and they just told me they didnt know what it could be and it would be money down the drain. I cant seem to find the issue i was wondering if anyone would have an idea of what my issue could be?

If you filed an insurance claim, contact your insurer and see what they say.

If no insurance, take car to a reputable collision repair shop and get an estimate for repairs.

Hmm I’m sensing a story here? How hard did you have to hit your wheel barrel to shatter it? And what was your wheel barrel doing in the street or did you jump the curb and smash into your wheel barrel on your lawn?

First issue: You took it to Nissan.

Find a specialty shop or a collision center as mentioned above. Where in CA are you so we can recommend?

What part of the bay?

South Bay, probably Z Car Garage if you can get an appointment (they are ludicrously overbooked, apparenetly)

if you're closer to Sacramento, go to Affinity Performance in Rancho Cordova. They have Z's in and out all day long
