Small Success (sometimes outweighs great failure)



Being severely bummed over the potential cost of my AC repairs, I finally
decided to replace the ABS plastic tips on the Audi. The ABS has never
worked correctly since buying the car. Armed with the knowledge that one of
the CV joints had been replaced by the previous owner (well meaning foolish
person), I was concerned that the wrong joint had been installed.

Not to worry! One hour later, the ABS works like a champ, hauling the beast
down to parade rest in an instant, without as much as a shiver. I'll post
the PN - 437 927 809. I got mine from Blaufergnugen (overpriced @ 1.99 ea) -
but my local dealers didn't have a clue (as usual...).

Of course, I couldn't help but noticing while I was under there the bad rear
trapezoid arm bushing (most rearward), and the bad boot/loose joint on the
rear tie rod on the other side... Yes, Eric, I hear you snickering...
