Default Anyone know what this is?
I was at my apt complex and went over a speed bump a little faster than normal, and after my front wheels passed the speed bump and the car bounced, I heard a horrible noise, and this is all I saw... It may not even be from my car but who knows. Any help would be great. Every thing still works e-brake, reg brakes.. no leaks.. I dont know....RON I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMTHING TO SAY...
