Chrysler Laser Car Repair Questions and Answers

Question: 1986 Chrysler Laser mileage: 105,000.  The steering wheel is loose and when I turn left or right quick the car stops running.   I suspect the steering column.  How can I fix it or what special tools do I need to solve the problem.

Answer: It sound like the wiring harness is shorting to ground somewhere in your car. This job is something that a professional will need to trouble shoot.

Question: 1986 Chrysler Laser mileage: 80,000. They kind of feel warped?  I took it back to have them look at it again and they said it sounds like a brake problem and when I told them that they just replaced my brakes a few months ago, after looking at it, they decided that my problem was not a brake problem and that they didn't know what was causing the problem but that it was not a brake problem.  Today, I took my car to another repair place and they told me that whomever did my original brake job cut my rotors too thin.  He said 2500's to 3000's under the legal spec. and that my rotors are bad and need to be replaced.  Is it possible to cut them too thin, and if so, what problems could that cause.  And is there a way to know and/or prove that they were cut too thin?Thank you so much for this service.  I have no clue about this stuff!

Answer: It is possible to machine the rotors too thin.  Stamped on the rotor is a minimum thickness they should be machined to.  If the rotors are machine below the minimum thickness, the brakes will not dissipate the heat and warping of the rotors can occur. If your brake rotors are to thin they need to be replaced.
