What this usually means
Usually control arm bushings, sway bar links, or top mounts — not the full absorber. Ask for lifted-car inspection and visible play/leak proof before replacing expensive struts.
What to ask the workshop before approving repair
- • Show the diagnostic fault codes.
- • Show photo/video proof of the failed part.
- • Give an itemised quote for parts and labour.
- • Explain why cheaper common fixes were ruled out.
This is not a final diagnosis. It is a money-saving checklist before you go workshop.
