What that means for your vehicle
Out in Green Oaks, long county roads and gravel driveways are hard on tires, front ends, and wheel bearings. A clunk over bumps or a wandering feel at highway speed usually points to worn ball joints or tie rod ends, and both are worth checking before they wear the tires.
Vehicles registered in Lake County go through the Illinois emissions test, and an illuminated check engine light can mean a failed test. See emissions repair.
