My car is shitting the bed day after day it seems. 140k now, but out of the blue everything is falling apart.

In the past month'ish:

-Front right sway bar end link starts making noise - Replace them.
-Knock sound over uneven surfaces on the left front - Upper strut mount replaced.
-Tpms light lights and beeps while in traffic. Hasn't gone out since.
- Similar noise comes back a week later, all seems tight, so i get some oem comp rod bushings. Start install and realize the joint has play. - Replace compression rod. *I have a pair of oem bushings if anyone needs them*
- Blow a tire on the hwy a few mornings ago - Replace rear tires.
- ABS starts activating at approx 15-20 kph under moderate to heavy braking. We'll see i guess. Suspect wheel speed sensor could have been hit during comp rod install or 245/45 to 245/40 tire replacement is causing it. Reset ECU so far, no change.
-Exhaust has sprung a leak around Y pipe. - After holidays...

I certainly hope i'm good for a bit now and the ABS issue doesn't take much to rectify. I have no patience for nickle and diming. I'm happy to once over the car and replace anything thats suspect because i do I love the car, but i'll replace it in a heart beat if it continues. Wish me luck!

 

sucks, when it rains it pours

 

It seems like a slippery slope sometimes when things start to go.

 

Good luck. Ditto on the slippery slope thing. I've kept a couple of cars too long years ago.

 

It is what it is unfortunately. I cant keep up with fixing my cars interior noise.

 

Well, 140K miles is getting up there. Any car over 100K is going to nickle and dime you here and there. GL.

 

^ I'm thinking that's kilometers. Mine's just over 130, this doesn't portend well. But then I don't race mine on Friday nights, LOL! Hope you have the problems licked for now, Keith.

 

I think its all up to the car and how much it wants to pms at its owner.

 

Oh yeah, I didn't look that he's in Canada. My bad.
