    Well since the mechanic is not you, how can we lose respect for ya? (Even if it was - crap happens) I took my car into get shocks replaced because I simply did not have the time to do the job. Of course, I just spent the evening replacing thrust arms due to the damaged rubber boot that occured (which I did not notice in time) which resulted in ball joint failure (nice clicking sound in the front end).

    screw the mecanic that initially messed it up, I did a ground up restoration with old parts pounded from the original unit...very much not what anyone would post on a brochure. Pics are on but have to be named so I can post in order.
