My Jeep has broken arms. Actually, it's really only broken shocks. About a week ago I noticed some popping in the front end on the passenger side any time the vehicle's weight would shift or I'd hit a pot hole. I kept driving it. About 4 days later, the other side was doing the same thing. I didn't know what it was at first. Dad suggested it was some kind of joint that was worn out, so I took it to Preferred Towing and Automotive( Bud's Garage). They drove it around and put it on a lift and everything and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. When I got it back, I was madder than.. Heck.. I told dad it was still doing it and he said he wanted to drive it. He reemed the crap out of it. He would hammer the gas petal then yank the steering wheel from side to side to make the weight shift. It was pretty funny, but hard on my gas mileage. He decided it was the shocks, which that's what I pretty much figured. He said it's okay to drive but it'll just make that popping noise until we get it fixed. Now I laugh every time I hear it do that. Shocks are so over rated. Who needs them? Ha, I'm kidding. I'm getting them fixed.

My dad used to put springs on the car and we'd bounce everywhere. It was horrible! I forget why he did that.
