Titles are for idots. example Im active duity AF if i call my supervisor Staff Sergent "Insert last name" there proubably gonna look at me funny. point is even if they are a mechanic someone can still not have a clue whats wrong. best advice at this point scerw the mechanic. hes alredy proven that he doesnt know what hes talking about. get a haynes or chiltons manual and start troubleshooting. the worst that could happen is that you find out that it is the sway bar end link. at which time you have the manual to assist in the removial and installation of a new one. DIY is usally cheeper and in the long run your better off. because then when your friend with the same car and proublem comes and askes if you know whats going on you can charge them to fix it yourself. then your the mechanic. see it all comes back to the title thing lol....
