Default Did I ever emention how this all started??

I brought my car to my engine builder because there was a little oil leak. Again - for a reason he had NEVER seen before. I had to leave the car with him so he asked if there was any thing else going on with it. I mentioned that there was a squeak in the rear suspension and a sound like the drive shaft hitting when I would turn to go up hill. He said he would give it the once over and even gave me a ride home (an hour each way). Well, he kept finding things and fixing them and 10-12 hours later (over a couple of days) he got to the front end. He stopped when he got to the right side hub and up right.

He called me and said I have some good news and bad news. The good news was that I was still alive and uninjured. I thought he was kidding and didn't "get it" at first. Then he gave me the bad news. Hence starts this oddessy with calls to SAI....

Just imagine if I had not had someone look at the squeak and if they had just stopped there. I guess as some one said recently "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" - although I kept telling my now ex girl friend that the squeaky wheel gets repalced
