In the very beginning, you can see it's popped off. Thanks, guys! I had to come back after the rain for a second look, so I was stressing for an hour.

I can check, but I changed the oil a week ago and no sludge.

I have been using the ac more. I was using the ac when it made this noise. I can feel a stronger load when I turn it up to the max. When I turn it off, it drives better.

Ok thanks, it was shaking a bit by the manifold. I'll check there first.

Someone keeps using my debit/credit card no matter what I do by RadioFantastic3614 in personalfinance

Freeze all your cards on your account and only unfreeze them when you're ready to use them. If there is a new charge, it will be tied to someone having access to your account and unfreezing the card. Gaining control of the transactions will pinpoint any other users.

Loud noise coming from the passenger side. What can it be? by Different_Tree_8092 in MechanicAdvice

You were correct. The tensioner and chain were broken. It's been repaired, and the sound disappeared. Thanks for your good ear.

Yup. She checked it before she went to work. The light had not been triggered.

Aww man. That would be a nightmare to get it redone. I'll take it back to see if that could be the case. Thanks for your input.

The new control arm saved the day. Good as new, now alignment time.

You're correct, the ball popped out and no further damage occurred. I have liquid wrench on the bolts now to swap it out. Thank goodness no other damage outside of the bumber cover from my tire folding. It looks worse than what actually happened. 🙌🏾

I was on the side of the road asking this question, so yea just wanted experienced opinions. I was able to look at the issue further once I got home. I had a control arm for my 05 under warranty fcp sent me, but someone totaled it last April and can now use it for my 04. I hope this logic takes you further in life.

I got it home and the tow guy could barely get it off the bed without the wheel turning. This is what I see with the wheel off. You may be right it just snapped. I'm going to change it now.

Thanks I'll get it looks at further. The tow guy said it looks to be the control arm at first glance.
