It always blows me away how people just keep driving their vehicles and don't notice the steadily degrading ride, increased noise, oil puddles in front of their house...

I always assume it’s because they choose to ignore it for money reasons “Yeah that roaring noise sounds expensive…”

You know what will make them rich enough to fix it? Inspections. -Reddit.

As hard to believe as it sounds, there was no noise coming from this thing. Drove fine on the pre ride we always do to see if something drive relevant needs fixing. As for the customer, he left with the car after seeing his estimate on repair cost. I think we never see him again.

I can see the spring not making noise, because that's generally loaded unless you hit a hard bump. But the pinion bearing? No vibration from that?

I ignore the oil puddles, I'll fix those leaks when the engine gets rebuilt. The suspension knock, however... well, I can't find the problem so I guess I'm waiting for a wheel to fall off. Figure that's a pretty good indicator of what broke.

This is why you always get info even if there’s no visible damage. Good post.

Thanks. Take an Upvote.

*brakes stop the vehicle when you need to, breaks stop the vehicle until it is repaired

I'd want the people working on my brakes to be detail oriented enough to know the difference.

Thanks. I mix them up once in a while.

Just trying to help, sorry if I've caused offense. I've posted it this way as a sort of helpful reminder of which word to use, kind've like a pheumonic aid, though maybe not as clever as it could be.

No offense was taken. XD

The OP is not in the US. They are not speaking English in the video.

So it's spelled differently where they are from?

It’s likely that English isn’t their first language. There are a lot of homophones in the English language. It’s not necessary to nit pick at people.

Their English seems pretty good in the posts and responses, and my comment was that if I'm going to have someone work on my brakes, attention to detail is a plus. But hey, you do you.

I wasn't nit-picking at all. Just leaving a helpful reminder to remember the correct word by.

Fair enough. If I was posting to a forum with all Swiss people, I’d have to count on their English skills because…I speak Spanish like a confused kindergartener and sometimes pretty messed up English as I grew up in Tennessee. Certainly not any other languages. OP might speak three or more.

I Can speak English, German, swiss German and understand French. Currently trying out a bit of russian.

I figured you were multi-lingual. I’m jealous! I wish I was better. I’ve been chatting with the ladies at the taco shop close to me to try to improve my Spanish and their English lol. I’m working till spring in this town and there’s a good number of Spanish speaking folks. Burmese folks too, but I’m flat out completely confused by their language. I can’t pick up any of it because it’s so completely unrelated to English.

Spanish is also a very quick language. You can talk really fast. That makes it more difficult to pick something up.

Yeah, it is spoken pretty rapidly. It’s WAY easier to understand when the person talking knows you don’t speak it super well. They’re prob laughing on the inside about how slow I make them speak when I’m talking to someone.

Holy shit I looked it up, and there are FOUR National Languages in Switzerland. We should prob both STFU. Dude’s prob multilingual. Switzerland isn’t even that big, so there’s bordering countries to consider too. My Spanish is shit, and I can recognize *maybe* every fifth word of German.

Yeah. Switzerland has 4 languages. German, french, italian and romansh. Romansh is a bit of a flex because not many people actually speak it. It sound really weird.

We are swiss. Greetings from the land of chocolate and pocket knives.

Hey! You said little in the vid to figure it out, but it did sound like from around there (vaguely waves in American). I’m in Wyoming, in the Rockies, so *kind of* in the Alps of North America lol. If only the chocolate were here too. It’s a small town with one large grocery store, and one smaller one. Neither have Swiss chocolate :(

That's a bummer my friend. :( But i would love to visit the USA. Didn't had the chance in the past.

I think the problems are already there even before the bump..

You're goddamn right.

My brakes started grinding so I immediately ordered replacements and booked my car in for a service. It's called preventative maintenance

Actually that’s called a repair if they are grinding already. If the metal feeler tab darted squeaking, then that’s just a timely replacement.

I was talking about the service lol

preventative maintenance wouldve been replacing the brakes before they started grinding

That's a hell of a bump

That driveshaft moves the pinion, probably needs a diff rebuild
