Suspension & Steering
A loose or missing connection between the knuckle and strut can cause improper tire alignment, resulting in a steering pull or require increased steering effort. Additionally, the brake hose may contact the tire and become damaged, resulting in a brake fluid leak and a loss of braking ability. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
For the right front lower suspension area of the vehicle, a fastener connecting the steering knuckle and strut may be loose or missing. This can cause improper tire alignment, a steering pull or increased steering effort, and contact of the brake hose to the wheel and tire causing a brake fluid leak and loss of braking power. All can increase the risk of an accident.
