I had the tires rotated after the first time in the shop, and actually just had two new tires put in the front just because I know winter is coming and fear of the front end problems. I will check the tie rods, but how do I check the control arms? I'm going to take the tires off the rear to double check both sides, but it looks like the drivers side is broke. Which brings me to another question. Does the rear have both shocks and struts, or is it just a spring around it? Only reason I ask is I had heard you can get a shock/strut combo replacement, but I have not looked into the rear end yet.
