TPS (more drama form me)

Starting driving my car after work and noticed my TPS light was on (just got new wheels and tires last week. Once I got home and found out which tiire it was I refilled my tire using my trusty mini air compressor. Once the tire was filled I could hear air coming out. The air was coming from the TPS stem on the back side for the wheel ( not the tire). After a closer look it seems that the cap on the stem had been sheered/flattened by the lower control arm (I think that's what it's called). In the process of being flattened the stem cap was pushed in to the center of the stem and letting air out the the tire. I simply took both rear stem caps off of the TPS stems and this appears to have solved the problem (unless the whole TPS stem get sheered off :-).

I may take it to the shop this weekend an see what they can do.

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks
