I have a fiat Palio 1.2 el 2002 model. And for the love of God can't seem to find a mechanic who actually knows what he is doing in this part of the world. The car makes a lot of noise (almost as if something is hitting the body from underneath) over potholes and also squeaks after driving 100km/hr speed the squeak stays but in the morning its fine again. Showed on mechanic and he asked me to change the bushing and get a startup kit plus cam shaft. I go around and find another mechanic (who is supposed to be good) he didnt even drive the car he just assumed it needed bushing, the startup kit was fine he said and then he asked me to get a steering boltzen and some tyre end (or whatever its called). saying that those were the ones making noise. So after I bought those I took it to him, opened the wheel and found out that the "arm is fixed" and that the ball joint in the arm is bad and because its fixed I have to get a new arm, the other stuff dont need to be replaced. now I am stuck with these parts which I dont need and I have to buy a car arm on top of it. Before it goes all out of control I wanted your opinion on what maybe going wrong with the car before I give it to someone to fix something that doesnt need fixing and waste more money.. I dont know what is a fixed arm here.. it didnt look like fixed..
