Oh!! Dat 'splains it a bit. I tell ya though.... I've
4-wheeled my 2000 pretty hard. I actually launched it twice
by accident. Also numerous times I've had 'er tetering on
opposing wheels with 2 dangling in the air. The there were
the times I was going 60 on some dirt roads out here....
Love that rooster-tail of dust!! I figured for sure I would
need an alignment at least when I had it in for tires. It
rides fine... but I just figured I was living on borrowed
time. So I was surprised when they gave me the report and it
was all in spec. Someone else mentioned that possibly some
went out with inadequate lube in them and that sounds like
it would certainly account for some issues. I think I may
jack mine up in the garage here soon and check it out.
Thanks to all who responded. Sorry I didn't respond to each
reply but I am in digest mode and I'm also in a_ _ kick mode
at work. Only problem is.... I'm supplyin' the a_ _ !!!

that was me that posted 8 control arms in 36k miles. they
put 2 full sets in
my 2000 2wd. i autocross pretty hard. i was chatting with
my friend the
other day (he's also my service writer and autocross buddy)
and he told me
that they just put the second set on there as a preventitive
maintenance
precaution b/c i was coming out of warranty. sorry for the
scare.
