Replace upper and lower ball joints and halfshft seals, sump gasket and rocker gasket.
The only real shocker $250 for the sump gasket
Mario had quoted $75 for genuine.
Local bloke claims he is prevented by law from fitting parts sourced from non shopfront suppliers.
And the price of oil! Crikey!
I'll have to tell him to go down the road for a better deal@SCA.
This should get the The old girl up to spec.
Sump gasket sounds like not much fun to do on your back under the car and I doubt I'd have managed the ball joints.
