What Got Done
Customer reported a crunchy ride and a clicking sound when turning left. Pulled the rear struts and confirmed they were shot — replaced both. Front-left CV axle had a torn boot and was clicking under throttle in tight turns, so we swapped it out same visit.
Bolted everything to spec, lubed the slide hardware, and road-tested. Steering tightened up and the rear stopped bouncing over expansion joints.
Rear strut replacement (both), front-left CV axle replacement, road test. Parts billed separately.
