1987 Chevrolet Nova: Leans To One Side

Q—I have a 1987 Nova that now has 46,000 miles. I had the tires rotated, and then the car started to lean to one side. I had two rear struts installed, but this has not helped. Can you advise a shop that I could trust to give me a fair inspection?

A—We are not familiar with the shops in your neighborhood and, even if we were, we do not make endorsements. What we do suggest, however, is that you look for a shop that employs ASE-certified technicians. Look for a white ring with a blue seal in the center displaying the ASE logo. Although certification does not prove anyone’s veracity, it does prove that they are technically competent. Also, ask your neighbors whom they trust their cars to.
