| There are a lot of things this could be. On my car it ended up being the front control arm bushings. Although now everything is so tight I have a new crack noise which I think might be the CV joint. No more suspension flex means my hard shifts are going right to the tires... | |

| Yes. They are a PITA to change, I bought complete control arms instead, that includes the rear bushings (non-servicable) and ball joints. I got them OEM for under $200 each from monsterpartsonline.com | |

| No, I considered the possibility that taking taking the trans in and out 4-5 times, the bolt may have broken by itself. There's the chance they didn't know it was there.
Took me 1/2 to drill out and replace. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| Yeah, the guy was a perfectionist. If something didn't feel right, he'd pull it out and do it again. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30
