WTF now? Looks like a bear to get apart...cd says from under car? Any good pictorials or how-to's around. I did a search but most are for ATX's.

He said that the bushings were worn out... 1 Tow job to his shop + replace bushings = $250.00 The Drake Equation States: N = R* fp ne fl fi fc L Meaning That There Is A Good Chance That We Are Not Alone.
