Q: Right front tire shaky and breaks go in n out
Hi my Chevy Malibu right front tire does not move freely. The other day I hit a dip pretty hard after that I heard a knocking sound. Couple days later my breaks went out and when I put my car into gear it does not moves freely, the breaks go in and out there is a grinding noise and a knocking noise. When I turn the wheel the whole tire moves it seems like it can fall off.
My car has 208000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
