After hearing a small clunk when going over a bump, wife was told by an auto repair shop that our gently-driven 60,000 miles Corolla needs new struts.
I say no.
What sayou?
Thank you.
“Wife was told”—by whom?
An auto repair shop. I do not know them.
(I’ll improve my post.)
Thanks.
Hearing a single clunk is not cause enough to write off your current struts. And 60,000 miles is too soon to suspect strut failure. I advise you to disregard the mechanic’s light-hearted quip. Keep on merrily driving unless you can provide other symptoms of strut malfunction.
Clunks more often come from worn bushings, not struts, so you should get a second opinion if the clunking persists.
