Fixed a puncture on a Mazda 323 yesterday. Backed it out the tyre-bay and there's a terrible knocking noise from the rear. Chucked it on the ramp and found a knackered rear roll-bar drop link. Customer confirmed he was getting a noise and the car occasionaly felt "less stable" when changing lanes at speed. Mr Smug with my diagnostic skillz, I declared I was wasted at KF. Two minutes later the car drives back in with the fella saying the sound was worse than ever.

 

Back on the ramp, I noticed the clearance between wheel and lower arm-hub mounting bolt was really small, and the new wheel balance weight was all scratched and the bolt had a polished spot......... :thumbsup_anim:
