I think I may have hert the cars feelings. Not more than 10 minutes before I saw a Jetta TDI Wagon and told my wife how much I wish we could find one at a resonable price b/c it's time for her to have a new (to us) car.

Most that I repair are the upper (alloy) arms with the ball joint and roll bar mounting hole.
The next most common is the lower ball joint(s)......both these items make a loud 'crack' when vehicle is high sided on opposite corners....like a ramp or driveway.
