Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / January 2008Chrysler Concorde 3.2L 1999 brakes question
Hi I took my chrysler to a garage to get my brake pad done but when I returned I found out that I needed to get the tire rod done and rotors machined. I did all that and then they told me to get wheel alignment/ balancing which I did too but they wasted 5 hours on it because according to them some screw or bolt is inside of the tire which makes it pretty hard to reach. Whatever after driving my car for about 1 week i realized the car is not stable any more also when I braked it jerks a bit which is most probably the rotors. I have the following question : Q1. If I get my rotors changed do I have to get the wheel balancing done again? Q2. When I turn my wheel to the full left the car gets bumpy, what can be the reason behind it? I hope I am not troubling you guys.

If your not happy with the work or think there is something wrong take it back. If the rotors were not machined correctly you would get a pulsation when braking but this should have been noticed when you picked it up.....either way, if you are not happy with repairs take it back!!! > I have the following question : > > Q1.

Can not see or drive the car so that would be hard to asnwer, however if the tires were rotated at the time they were balanced and the rear ones were cupped on (the outside) and now got placed on the front....this could be what your feeling. But once agian, cant see, cant drive it on line.

After they got everything leveled they just got the car down and took it for a test drive and gave it aok. Does unbalanced causes the axel to break or something. > > <sharma.deepa...@gmail.com> wrote in message news:439e5ac3-2931-405a-b930-fefdd5da7dbb@f47g2000hsd.googlegroups.com... > > > Hi I took my chrysler to a garage to get my brake pad done but when I > > > returned I found out that I needed to get the tire rod done and rotors [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > down and took it for a test drive and gave it aok.

The sleeves will seize up and cause this type of time consuming problem. > <sharma.deepa...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] > doing was adjusting the toe.

I really don' t want my tire out of balance to cause any serious errors/problems. > > <sharma.deepa...@gmail.com> wrote in message news:f42f0628-cf22-44e4-acfe-a193754e9de4@n20g2000hsh.googlegroups.com...> > > > > <sharma.deepa...@gmail.com> wrote in message news:439e5ac3-2931-405a-b930-fefdd5da7dbb@f47g2000hsd.googlegroups.com... > > > > > Hi I took my chrysler to a garage to get my brake pad done but when I > > > > > returned I found out that I needed to get the tire rod done and rotors [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > So do you think I should get my tires balanced again.

You just got the vehicle back from the shop, the problem has not been fixed or something else was created due to the service done. Why not take it back to them and let them make the decision. If the tires need balancing again have it done!! I would not pay for it again since you claim it was just done.

There is a very good aftermarket toe adjuster sleeve for the LH cars - has a nice hex head on it (original OEM sleeve was a horrible design): http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=470&LineCode=MRC&Par tNumber=ES3528S&Description=Tie+Rod+Adjusting+Sleeve+-+Front+Suspension Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') |
