Q: I need to find out if my car has a spindle or not
I recently took my car to the shop and the guy told me that my right lower passenger side ball joint was shot and that I need to get it fixed. I asked how much and he said it depends on if it needs a spindle or not. And then said it could cost almost $700 so I'm trying to find out if my car even has a spindle or not.
My car has 11800 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
