Example complaints

“When I turn my steering wheel to the left or right I hear a clicking noise under the drivers side floor mat. It also makes a snapping noise. I had a mechanic put my car on the lift and both left and right rubber strut mounts appear to be quite loose. The car only has 50k miles on it. I hear the popping and snapping noise at speeds less than 20 MPH and when going forward or backing up. I now have grease kicking up from the drivers side.”
