For those who haven't heard yet (most of you) my car has died. I had an unfound oil leak that only showed up as a low oil pressure light as I accelerated onto the parkway. The damage was done before I could pull off and add oil. I got it to my mechanic who checked it out and changed the oil and filter and said it would "probably" last a few weeks. It did not. Yesterday I was out with Mom and we got stranded about ten miles from home. I lost three hours waiting for a "half hour tops" tow truck that never came. I then called a second company who had us home in about an hour. As much as I like this car, for me it's not worth putting a new engine into it.

For the past couple of months I have noticed a vibration in the front suspension of the car at certain highway speeds.

Since I head up to Springfield MA next weekend for the train show I figured I would have it looked at before the trip.

It turned out to be the left side tie rod ends - both inner and outer.
