96 vette could have some serious issues.
Having problems right after purchase of 1996. CE corvette.Heres my story,If anyone could help it would be awesome.
Drove the car and really liked it, previous owner said car had been hit in the passengers door and was replaced...looked O.k. purchased car. Took the car 30 mi home no problem. Next day 30 mi to window tinter no problem.Tire kingdom next for tires and to line car up.Mechanic picked up car on wrong lift and bent floorpan, Moved car to proper lift picked it up again.He then replaced tires and alignment. Paid them and off I go ...... After leavin parking lot I hear a faint tick..tick from the rear ..sound like it is on the right side. Took all day so I just went home. Wife wants to go to dinner in the new ride so off we go 60 mi round trip.Tick continues.
After getting home I just stand there in the dark looking at the car and I see something, The back left tire protrudes about .5 inch outside fender...back right tie inside fender fully.something no good.
I figured Tire shop put back tire on front rim and mounted on back of car.
