I am so freaking lucky...
Edited on Thu Jun-28-07 07:32 PM by GoddessOfGuinness
The other day, I was taking groceries out of the back of the car, and found what looked suspiciously like an automobile part on the ground, underneath my car. I had no idea what it was, or whether it came from my car, or what. But I needed to get the a/c serviced anyway, so I took the part with me, and showed it to my mechanic.

It turned out to be the power steering pump adjuster bracket. And since I brought the part with me, he reinstalled it at no charge!
I shudder to think what could have happened if I'd lost my power steering driving around the Beltway! :scared:

1. Yes
I would say you are very lucky!!!!
But the question has to be asked.....
how come that part was in your car and
you knew nothing about it???

Did someone else buy it and forgot to get it installed???

Just putting it out there....

Maybe you should buy a Lottery ticket!!!!

:hi:

8. Not actually a big deal..
It just makes it a bit more difficult to turn the wheels but you still can.
