Also, standard brake job, plus front right caliper replaced as well. Maybe this is something the body shop missed after the minor accident? Well, that was over 100,000 miles ago, so who knows. The drivetrain is still going strong though - let's hope she holds out for another 6-10 months! The car has always been the opposite of a lemon, maybe an apple?
