Yes, we are replacing parts as instructed by the superior being ( certified gov't. inspector ) and I do routine maintenance and service on ALL of my stuff and do expect to get good service because of this. But, they insisted the shafts and bushings on both sides were worn out and didn't need to show me how they determined this, just fix it! End of discussion. My question is again. Am I missing something on checking this stuff for wear? I really don't think I am but would like to know how they may have come to this. With ball joint undone and control arm free there was no noticable play just a smooth up and down. No wear on control arm where bushing goes in and bushing threads smoothly and firmly onto shaft with no slop at all. I am taking replaced parts with me for the final inspection and will see if they can show me the problem. Frustrated! Doug
