Third, not sure what "ball joint bushings" are. Don't most ball joints contain rubber bushings? Does the clunking noise change when turning left or right? If so, that generally points to CV joints/axles. No. How many miles on the Equinox? Wheel bearings do have a finite lifespan, especially in the Northeast, with crappy roads/potholes.

After another trip down the rabbit hole yet again, I stumbled on this special "Olivia!" that was on ABC in 1978. It's extraordinary because it's Olivia Newton-John, with Andy Gibb and ABBA. (The opening song does nothing for me, but the rest is cool and I had no idea this existed.)

Original topic here: I got the control arms (Mevotech premium) from Rock Auto. Had a little trouble finding a shop that would use customer-supplied parts, but ended up going to a local dealer. It turned out to be considerably cheaper than the independent shops--which wouldn't do it with my parts anyway. (BTW, the dealer would charge $300 per side or $600 total for the parts, but said they rec

Sinema was elected to represent her constituents--the majority of her constituents. By pulling the carried interest loophole, rather than representing the interests of millions of her constituents, she is representing a few hundred big money donors.
