Hey Jay, I found a torn CV boot and went around checking the prices... the local Indy quoted me $390... wow, $400 just replace a CV boot... and that is for the labor alone... not sure if I can tackle this one myself, so, the search is still on for a good mechanic... the guy who was working on my engine has fallen into oblivion and i can't find him anymore, but he was very competent and reasonable... lol...

neverending saga...
