Car started making a cluncking noise. Parked car till social security check came in. Took car to garage where I found out that I need a sway bar, control arm bushing and tie rod (right side). Upon calling for prices, I found out that many cars of this model are having the same problem. I think they got a bad batch of sway bars. Being on disability, the cost are outrageous and the repairs have not been made as of yet, leaving disabled people with no transportation for medical care.
