Clunk when coming to a stop
#4
anticdotes. here are 2.
day 1, (of about 15 things wrong)
i look under car 1991,2dr/4wd.
the front left, "A" arm is ball joint attached and at 2 inboard ends to frame, the bolt on one point rear,was uscrewed say 10 turns.
eyeballs are like magic, looking for things lose or even tightening all man killers like that under car, Imagine the left wheel going side ways at 60mph.
same with brakes, we inspect brakes 100% even google the 100 point inspection system on cars, most shops do this, for a fee. cheep.
rusty brake lines.
calipers must slide on the pins if not this is a huge danger to any ones life. (my real jeeps have SST pins and are silicon greased and will never jam like this cheap car)
failure 2, of 15 there was, left rotor cracked, never drive with this. ever.

my buddy his rear, axle top wishbone brace mount was rusted trough, huge noise and random but rear axle bumps BOOM. (it will make noises when it wants, even braking)
the stories are endless, for sure on old cars and x100 that in the rust belt (wiki that phase if IDK)
No fuel leaks that means no rusty lines, or that top of tank rust that loves to happen, on this car.

no brakes bad, is next. or first. (depends on which is worse,?)
next is suspension damage of any kind.
and that includes the wheel bearings bad or the shop was STU-PID and hand set them to say 50lb force guessing, and will fail fast like that. have proof,
The front crush bearings must be set to spec, or hell to pay.
seen the rear axle trail link arm fail hard. left and right side just in front of rear wheels. unsafe at any speed this and all the above.

one more, the tank top mounts fails and the tank falls out of car,or nearly so.. very common on this car, for sure salt belt cars.
as the robot said. Danger Will Robinson.
