[V8] re: That "sinking" feeling!

[quattro + 5 or 8 = fun]

You did not by any chance do suspension work recently?  The same thing
happened to me. It took me about 2 weeks and two distributor caps to realize
that I had put the L tie rod on upside down.  The cap would crack by the rod
hitting over bumps and eventually just "blowup".
