So you never looked at the front end even though it was making noise? FAILI thought your crapstang flooded? FAIL
HAHA
Actually when it was making the noise we had it up in the air twice and checked ball joints/tie rod but obviously didn't catch the problem.
As for the mustang it sounds like it was only in about 4-5 inches of water so it's still driveable (I believe). Will find out what condition that is in tonight probably.

Same tow guy towed a car for me last night around 10:00-11:00.
He was one of the coolest tow guys I have dealt with. -

I agree he was very nice.
I'd be nice too if I was making commission on a $170 job though.

First time there was no weight on the tire.
2nd time it was "up in the air" on big ramps that allowed me to turn the wheels still but have room to be underneath it as well.
Either way we obviously didn't know what we were looking for otherwise we (might have) caught it.

90% if not more companies use sealed steering and suspension components in their vehicles. Cost is the big reason. Yes, even the imports do this. Just in one model lineup, the savings is in the millions. Oh, and I've seen this in EVERY brand of car out there. Most of the time, it is caught far before it gets to this. Sorry to see your problem. It is a tits ride fo sho.yea not to mention that shit just happens
its a car, stuff breaks.

Field in the back ground looks kinda familiar... shouldn't be driving over closed bridges lol i drive like 5 mph on the gravel part. Holy 170 to tow it for 50 bucks I would of towed it 40ft to my driveway and u could of fixed it there.Bah I've driven over it many times with no problems! I was only accelerating towards the very end when it turns back into tar (northbound obvioulsy) but there was still enough of a bump to allow the suspension to drop out from under the wheel hub.
I actually only had it towed about 4 miles south of there too so that saved me a ton of money doing that but yes...170...If i'd known who you were I would have much preferred that option.

Yes but..."stuff breaks" usually doesn't include ball joint detaching and wheel falling off.

Happened to me at 3am. Pretty much what you're describing too. It was noisy for like a day, quit making noise, and like 2 days later there I was. Even had the appt to get it looked at as well lol.
