[T3] front end woes

[Keith Park]

Well, things dont usually suddenly get bad like that with our front ends
unless
something breaks.  Bring your Bentley with you to whomever services it,
our front ends are unique and someone who is willing to familiarize
themselves with it and reference the service manual is more likely to get
things right.

Oy vey.  As Rodanne Rosanadana used to say, "If it's not one thing, it's
another."

I think my front end is shot.   Well, not *my *front end, but The
Baroness'.  I took her up to Marin yesterday, over the bridge.  Every time
 hit an expansion joint, the front end would jerk violently to the right,
and it was quite difficult to steer it back to the left; very sloppy
feeling.  Same thing on curves to the left; it wanted to go right.  I
eneded up driving the whole way back at 40 mph.  Very, very scary.

So, just how difficult is it to find replacement ball joints?  I'm also
thinking the steering box may be shot?  Does it sound like that to you
guys?  Is that findable?  Where?
