I have changed my attitude after hearing the full estimate from my mechanic. I am tearing this ****er apart and doing the work myself. If I can't finish it with parts I purchase and install myself at that point I'll call for help. Do I have to lift the car up to change these control arm parts because I'm guessing that I don't.

This is not a problem. I am going to get good at working on my car. Probably tomorrow I'll have it towed from the lot.

This is getting done right; done by me and my gearhead friends. They usually work on VWs but metric's metric -- right?
