So yesterday, I was just going about my day and backing out of a parking spot and POP! I get out of the car to see if my tire was flat but turns out (I think) the front left wheels shock or something broke. Anyway, towed it to my mechanic to get fixed on monday also getting its summer tires on. But does anyone what happened, additionally how much it will cost me?

My poor baby is sitting in the mechanics lot not in its garage



all the other wheels appear to be fine, but the front left wheel is the one that has the issue. Im guessing the issue is either a - Air suspension problem - Shock Problem - Spring Break Basically anything revolving around those. Might be wrong but let me know!

The sound indicates the rubber bladder of the air spring ruptured. If it is OEM, replace both fronts with Arnotts.

9 years, 167k miles, you got your money worth.

Yep you did very well. Mine lasted about 140k

Try epoxy fix on top of rubber strut.

it's going to cost you $1300 to get both shocks for the front, which is half the $2600 for OEM.
