feels really good. something about the way it steers and handles tells me they did something right.

BUT they told me my lower ball joints need replaced. said they were busted. i think they mean the boots are torn as i have no movement in the tires when i have them jacked up. i checked.

they want $949 for parts and labor to replace the lower ball joints!!

actually i have new ones but i never got around to putting them in because i lost heart after hearing what a pain it is to get them pressed in the knuckles.

but i guess i'll give it a go instead of shelling out $949. of course i guess it will cost me another front end alignment.
