RE: Playing with suspension bits



     Oops...my bad :(  I do know the difference between a bolt and a nut,
apparently my typing finger doesn't.
     Of the 4 dust covers involved in my adventures (2 balljoint, 2 tie-rod
ends) one actually didn't split.  Replaced it anyhow.  Alignment is planned for
very early next week.

Cheers,
Colin
