Or get down on your knees and look underneath. The only way to see what is
happening is LOOK.

OK, busted spring. When that let go, other parts bent beyond their
elastic limits. MAJOR damage.

But... A mechanic friend told me he has access to a wreck... I just gotta
pay
the labor to rip out the parts.

Have to see...

Can't be all that much that broke and caused "MAJOR damage". It's just a
strut back there. Under $100 for one in a junk yard, or about $150 new. 30
minutes to remove/replace.

Well, I had to buy one new trailing arm, but the rest was just 'moved over'
from
the wreck. I should get it back today and know for sure.

The wreck, a noun, as in a parts car to salvage parts from to fix my car.

Got it, wasn't very clear.

Well, got it back. Don't know how much yet, but probably around $500.

The leaf spring had 'shattered'. Last time I something like that was a bow
from the 60's that delaminated. Once in there, my struts were leaking bad,
and the central
mount was all rusted. That's why the guy just wanted to replace everything.

I'll get the bill this weekend, but I know it was a pretty good chunk of
labor, plus
one new trailing arm.
