    Is this the same car you damaged recently in an accident? If so I imagine this is damage from that.

    It's been pointed out to you a few times that your car is a death trap yet you continue to drive it. I would say the problem with your car is accident damage from losing control on a roundabout and smacking the hell out of the car. Specifically what damage I don't know, but if I were you I would have had that car seen by a mechanic a long time ago.

    Did you end up cutting the springs like you said you would?

    spinning freely till a certain point will be the brakes grabbing, usually slightly warped rotors cause it. wouldnt worry too much. side to side movement is probably play in the steering linkages. probably a dead ball joint or tie rod end.

    your car is a death trap.


    every time you post a question on here its the same thing: "hey i have a problem" ... "your problem is this" .... "thanks for answering, i am just going to continue to drive the car anyway i just wanted to know"

    gets kinda boring.

    Take it back to Holdens and ask for another assessment. Tell them they didn't get it right the first time.

    Hope you get it sorted.

    What the?
    If your car is a death trap, kinda means that it is beyond the point of economical repair.

    By the way what is this 'Holdens' you talk about?

    Wrong. just wrong.

    if you were going to have an "s" there you would need to use an appostrafy to show ownership.

    I.e. Bill's house. the appostrafy shows that it is a house owned by Bill.

    So to say it correctly you would have to say

    I took my car to Holden's workshop

    OR as Hamma said.

    I took my car to Holden

    Becasue the company name is purely holden you cant follow it with an "s" unless you have an item or location for the business to claim ownership of.

    I asked. WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE. TRYING TO FIX THE ####ING THING.
    and I get told 'Your car is a death trap' No ####ing shit, If I actually got some help.. Instead of told what a heap of shit my car is.. I could possibly fix it.. Local mechanics are hopeless and I have no idea what I'm looking for.

    I'll just keep on driving the ####ing thing. I can't get the help I'm after.... All I get is bullshit I knew from when I bought the car.. and yet you sheep are still repeating it.
