94 olds vert Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 So my cutlass likes to pull to the left. Took it to my mechanic he said I needed lower ball joints and new tie rods. And my a/c pulley was making a noise so that is going to get replaced as well. Along with new breaks and rotors. The rear end was completely replaced about 6 months before I bough the car. WITH RECEIPTS. New everything back there so I know that is in good shape. So that should take care of any problems. The car will be held up for about 3 to 4 days and i am hopping to pull the rims and tires off and get new tires and paint my rims. I am going to take it in on Tuesday.

cutty Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Make sure he does an alignment with replacing the tie rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yup we discussed it. Should drive like brand new again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ya know, if you don't feel like getting raped by your mechanic for simple stuff like ball joints and tie rod ends, theres a lot of us around the SE MI area that would be willing to lend a hand. Obviously we can't do alignments, but it would save you cash in the markup on the parts, and in the labor by the mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I know this guy from church and he is only charging me for parts. That is why all of our cars go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Took it in and my a/c pulley has a shot bearing so it makes a loud squeal that is also getting replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
