I heard from several knowledgwable individuals on how to solve an irritating front end problem. Thanks to all who offered advice. I've been doing business with Bavarian for years , so I guess I'll see what they have to offer.
Also, i did not know the center tie rod was a possible culprit. We'll start there first.
The FCP stuff seemed too good to be true. Could you really rebuild the whole front end for $500 in parts? I doubt it.
