NYC roads are brutal on suspensions—potholes, plates, salt. Hearing clunks, feeling steering wander, seeing uneven tire wear, or riding bouncy? Time for a check. Ask for a road test, lift inspection, quality parts, and a 4‑wheel alignment with printouts. Pro tip: check tire pressure monthly and wash the underbody after winter. #Suspension https://autobahncollisionny.com/suspension-repair-new-york/ #NYC #AutoRepair #CarCare #Mechanic #NewYork #Potholes

"NYC roads are unforgiving—potholes, steel plates, and curb hits can bend your frame or unibody without obvious damage. If the wheel sits off-center, the car pulls, tires wear unevenly, or doors won’t close cleanly, it’s time for frame straightening. Proper repair means

Replacement bearing is #SKF VKBA7011 (easiest to get at a reasonable price, Schaeffler can be unobtanium here or double price, probably due to #Brexit) - hoping front left is OK for few more months (so if I have to do this again its in better weather and longer days), at least I know what's involved now - am also getting 400-600mm telescopic ratchet which should make work on axle stands easier (there was a "rent-a-ramp" place in the next town along - alas; it closed recently)

I didn't take any photos of the actual job as I wanted to get it all done during available light but this is the noise the bad bearing makes (rattles as well)

Curiously it had 0 makers markings/ID on it, maybe replaced before with cheap aftermarket part?
