Thank you, I havent heard this song since high school. \../ Metallica baby
Good news, everybody! Public school is already a barely functioning shitshow!
He should have followed their commands when they stormed into his home. His thuggish behavior got him what he asked for.
The rust has hit all the exposed metal surfaces that didnt have paint or some other protection like grease or oil, which reminds of northeastern winters and the salt damage. The threads on the tie rod have collected all that water/salt/slush mixture and made them dissolve, the bushing problem probably wasnt caused by that, but there is no way to guarantee that. Florida has rust problems but not usually under the car unless someone spends time driving through salt water. Why are you looking to get an alignment? Are you feeling vibrations or constant pulling in the steering wheel when driving?
It doesnt look good, chief. Ive worked on worse but it was my own junk. Theres a bit of rust but not that much. The bushing on the lower control arm is probably toast and the nut and bolt will need to be replaced, not sure if kias control arm bushings can be replaced or the whole arm has to go. Your inner tie rod end threads are gone in that picture which means they really cant adjust your alignment. Im not sure what is the defective part about the trailing arm. If you want a second opinion take it to another shop but theyre probably going to tell you the same thing once they lift it. Suspension work takes time and shop time is expensive most of that quote is gonna be for mechanic hours and not parts if that helps. How many winters in chicago did you drive this kia through?
