Got the car back today, the passenger CV axle was pooched, it had no resistance to bend at all, it just flopped, dead weight, it was right pooched......however he said lowering on the stock struts had nothing to do with it, he says its how i drive, which seems right i am always beating on it..........but sometime in the near future if i find a nice set of used struts( Koni, Tokico, something good) I will grab them hopefully.
