Siena: Some of your refences are not correct. There's nothing like Track Rod Ends, the correct name is Tie Rod Ends. What's Bump Stop? suspension is suspension either it's automatic or manual, and no mechanic will call it Cushion no matter local he might be. Main Bearing (Crankshaft) - "Engine Metal". Main Bearing cannot be referred to Engine Metal. It's usually called Metal and Main Bearing because they are different components. Local mechanic will not call Glove Box - "Pigeon Hole". It's called safe 4 Likes |

You made it sound like the words are based on the ignorance of the Kazeems whereas they have simply evolved their internal industry language much like every other profession. Walk into Ladipo market with your pristine English and get scammed because you'll be identified as a JJC. Simple. |
