They just don’t make them like they used to, do they…?
Well, this guy sure doesn’t think so!
He’s a mechanic in Canada and he took to TikTok to express his extreme displeasure with how certain car parts are made these days: ball joints, ball socks, and arm controls on the front ends of vehicles.
He said, “In no world can you convince me that a plastic control arm is a good idea. Hell, they tell us that our car seats for our children only last seven years because the plastic can start breaking down.”
The man added, “So a car seat can’t last more than seven years no matter what kind of plastic you use, but there’s plastic that’s going to be strong enough to last a truck and not get brittle and cracked? These trucks are getting more and more expensive, and in my opinion, they’re getting weaker and weaker.”
This sounds like it could be a serious problem…
Let’s take a look at his video.
