Just got back from the mechanics, noise louder than ever, he seems to
think its a wheel bearing, it is a rotating noise. So im guess im going
to try that tomorrow. I hope this fixes it, it was 200 dollars for the
struts and bushings with new plates, he said expect about 80-90 bucks to
put in the new bearing, no offense to anyone but this car is eating me
up. Though I know i could never get rid of her, I guess ill just have
the nicest looking lawn ornament on the block if this keeps up. Better
than those damn concrete elves.
