[QUOTE="shawn stonbraker 2, post: 750780, member: 62109"] Got it inspected today from the place I take my ST, and low-and-behold, nothing wrong with the ball joints. I know the owner of the shop, so we checked them over real good and we weren't able to get them to budge one bit on either side. My wife (who is a little firecracker :D) called the dealership and let them have it. She explained to the service manager that we have been pretty faithful, had alot of work done by them, and it was pretty low of them to try and pull this crap on us. The manager told her that "the mechanic is one of thier best" and "he wouldn't try to pull anything like this". I told her (before she called) that they were going to say that. (I must be able to see into the future :D) Anyway, I replaced the rear brake shoes ($31), got it inspected ($26), and saved myself about $200.;) [/QUOTE]
