I dunno, he has been good to me over the past few
years when I needed help.  He in fact suggested that I
do this job myself.  I was the one that asked how much

I started the car last night and there is some racket
coming from that area that I guess could be classified
as squealing.  I haven't checked for side to side
play, but there is some front to back play.
