Finally made it back to the body shop today to figure out what's wrong with my car.
After taking it to the body shop, then the service department down the street (where they looked at it for an hour and a half) and then back to the body shop (took the tech there who I really like 10 minutes to find it) he decided that the service shop is full of it and then proceeded to show me my front control arms.
The lower driver's side control arm is slightly bent and mis-formed. He allowed me to verify this and comparing one control arm to the other you could definitely see a difference.
Also, the knuckle has been flexing, and you can see where this has happened, where as the one that isn't broken is smooth and flat, while the other one is rough and flexed looking.
They'll have the parts in a few days, and I take it up there Monday or Tuesday to have them install it....
WHOO!
The tech, who's name is Harold...is really cool, he just bought a Grand Marquis! Said he didn't want a Marauder because he was extremely concerned about the paint troubles they've had...so he bought a Marquis instead.
