After my suspension refresh three wheels feel solid and tight when grabbed at 3 and 9 but the driver's side front left wheel has some slight play. When I grab it at 3 and 9, I feel a little movement but I can also hear the steering wheel moving with the movement. Is that normal or should that wheel be as tight as the other wheels?
Also, that same wheel has the symptoms of a sticky caliper because I am getting this high pitched sound while driving at lower speeds. It sounds like when you blow on the top of a soda bottle; it gets louder the harder you blow on it.
Other than that, the repair looks good.
One interesting thing that I discovered in this repair was that I was trying to pinpoint some clunking in the rear after I had the Meyle HD RSM's installed. I honestly thought the Meyle was defective but after the repair we found out that the last shop installed the top part of the endlink bracket the opposite way. So everytime I was backing out of the driveway and hearing the clunk, it wasn't the RSM, it was this part that was incorrectly installed.
Also, I had no idea you can twist those stock aluminum rear endlinks and snap them. The mechanic tugged on the link (pretty hard) and it snapped.
