Want to see the A8 CV Joint?

[Paul Waterloo]

Everybody-

Anyone who wants to see what the front axle looks like and both CV joints,
go to:

I've also posted a few pictures of the bent and new control arm (lower,
rear) that I replaced. If you noticed, the clean one is a little longer than
the dirty one. What happens is that when I hit the fire hydrant flange, the
front wheel went back and took up all the travel in the rubber bushing where
it bolts to the subframe. Then the lower rear control arm took the hit and
bent.

With it being shorter than it was, it removed all camber and threw the
steering way off. Replace it with the new one and presto it's like new again
(handling, alignment, etc.)
