drove through a MONSTER pothole on Monday and knocked something loose on the BMW's suspension. clunking and knocking coming from 2 corners. think it's a ball-joint, a tie rod end or some linkage. have to make it a priority. .

actually saw the boxes with the struts and springs in the shop floor when i went to make an appointment with Martin, my new mech/tech. hope the bimmer doesn't drain my wallet so i can get the work done soon in the Celica.


peace.

man, that sucks ray. I know from experience, if tis ball joints and such, its not gonna b cheap to replace. I had to replace ball joints on my roomates 328IS, they were about $120 a peice.

Hopefully you'll have the celica going for the meet in august.

thanks for the reply. it wasn't as bad as i thought. brought it to Martin (mech/tech) after the show yesterday and he had a chance to work on it. it was a bad (worn) front sway bar end link. 99$ for the pair and 1.2 hours labour. total cost < 200$. i have to make an appointment for the installation of the struts and springs. i hope to get it in thursday weather permitting, since i have the old half-bald Fate-Os on the original wheels. severly allergic to snow/ice. as far as the august meet...try and keep me away!! negociations are going good with the household administrative body so it's a 70/30 proposition at this time. i hate winter <--- needed to say that yet again.
