New Problem

[KevinEP3]

I'll try to explain this best I can.

I took the ep3 to the shop for shocks, struts, and a clicking noise coming from the front passenger side. I was told it was the ball joint. While it was at the shop they said it needed a new stabilizer bar link. I got the car back today and the clicking noise is gone but now there's a new noise. It first started making a popping noise when pressing the brake pedal during a rolling stop. Now it’s a screeching noise when driving and worse when breaking. Any ideas what to look for? Thanks

check your brakes?

bring it back to the shop that did the work. tell them to recheck everything. could be directly related to the work they did or just coincidence that another part failed.

I would've thought this but they were fine 3 days ago.

After my 5 lug swap I had the car aligned and an hour into driving it I was getting insane shaking while braking...... Come to find out all my lugs were loose? I'm just glad I didn't damage the wheel/studs but I'm not sure why my lugs were loose... At all.

Problem found! One of the guys at the shop only hand tightened the brake caliper and it finally fell off. I had it towed back to the same shop because the main mechanic is fixing it. Only problem is I had to replace my hawk pads for wagner and my rim is leaking air cuz the rotor ate the inside of my rim up and I have to wait for someone to weld it.
