The Aerie
So for the last week my car has been making this little "clunk" sound when I drive. Accelerate, "clunk", decelerate, "clunk."
Fifteen years of listening to the Car Talk guys told me that this was going to be a loose tie rod or a ball joint, but either way I needed to take care of it. In fact, yesterday I even biked to work, specifically so that I would not have to drive the car.
Today I drove to work intending to go from there to the dentist's, and immediately thereafter to the garage. After work I parked in the lot at the garage, went in, and told them what was wrong.
The man went out, got in my car, and drove it over to the service bay.
As the nose of the car entered the service bay, the left front wheel fell off the car!
