Are plastic parts on cars a bad thing?

It depends on who you talk to, but the guy you’re about to hear from seemed pretty confused about it.

He’s a mechanic and he posted a video on TikTok and shared his thoughts with viewers.

The video showed viewers the underside of a truck suspended on a lift in an auto shop.

The video’s text overlay asked what’s going on with the vehicle’s upper control arm that appears to be made out of plastic.

I guess he wasn’t too impressed with that, huh?
