Thanks Jim,
I'll give that a shot in the am.
We're In tow as I text.
Next step is finding the shop that can do the work.
I don't want to press my luck and wait till I get back to Marin.
I'm planning on parking in front of Steve's Place VW Audi and seeing if we can talk them into some help.
If anyone knows a shop that's open on Saturdays in bend, let me know!
Thanks,
Jvk

See if that doesn't buy you a lot of miles. When I have made it home at three in the morning nursing a horribly rattling joint, the offending clearances upon inspection were mere thousandths though it sounded like it was going to explode. Drive on.
