Midas

About 10 days after the installation I started to notice a squeaking, coming from the front end. I took it back to the same Midas. I told the manager that it sounded like they forgot to grease the fittings sheet they installed the tie rods. They took the truck in back. Sheet inspection, I was informed that there were no fittings to be greased, that the new tie rods caused the ball joints to go bad. Then they stated that if they were not able to press out the ball joints that that would have to install new control arms. The manager stated if it's just the ball joints it would be $400 if they had to replace the control arms it would be $800. I told them to leave the estimate on my ticket and it be back. I work at a highschool. I told the auto shop teacher what happened. He looked at the car and told me the grease fittings on the new tie rods were dry. The squeaking was metal on metal contact. He greased the fittings. The noise went away
