Re: 02 Impala - Left Front wheel issues

I had it all fixed by the garage who gave me the 2nd opinion. They told me that I did not need other stuff (that the 1st shop said - no mentioned here in the posts).

The struts were completely shot, all four where in real bad shape. The left hub was shot, grinding away towards failure. It only needed a left outer tie rod (had a right outer tie rod put on - because it made sense to me) with an alignment. The steering shaft was kaput (excessive play and cracked). The rear needed sway link bushings and rear brakes.

I would have liked to done it myself, but I have no warm garage and it was a snowy/rainy mess that day in NJ.

Just wanted to post a followup-up. Thanks for all the info!
