Recommendations 4 suspension specialists in LA/OC area

Hallo zusammen,

Anyone in the SoCal area can recommend me a suspension specialist? My front suspension has been making creaking sounds since it rained here and I have no clue what the issue is. I've had the front control arm and sway bar links replaced and it still creaky. Car sounds old. I would like to arrange a suspension diagnostic first then go from there.

Danke.

You want 4 area specialists ? It isn’t a heart operation, it’s loose worn suspension parts. It’s simple, if it’s worn and loose you replace it. You just need a decent honest mechanic, I ended up replacing everything, that’s what it took to get the ride to normal. Miles and the type of roads determine the wear and tear. Buy your parts at fcp euro , lifetime warranty .if you look for “specialists “ you will pay 2-5x the price you need to pay.

Me thinks, unser mann, is using the number "4" to represent the word "for." As in "Looking for..."

Sorry. I used "4" as "for" to fit the subject title. The only part of buying my own parts is finding the correct part. I've ordered parts that were proper fit for my GLK and it proved not so. A bit apprehensive at that end.

It is no problem. I just wanted to clarify for Mmr1. Obviously there are more and more substitutes used for different words since the advent of SMS/Text Messaging :-) Unfortunately, I cannot assist with your question as I'm not in that region. Good luck.

Pretty soon everything written by some people will be ambiguous.
