well that was hardly a helpful post

instead, since you work for an autoglass company, you give him an estimate on how much it would be if HE came in and needed a new windshield

why do you need a new control arm? if you just need the bushing you wont need the whole control arm. Only if your ball joint is worn and clunking will ou need a whoe new control arm.

If the ball joint is worn you can just get a new ball joint pressed in as I did my control arms and bushings were fine. Got mine from this guy, they work great!

Dude, nexttime you have a windshield problem (not that I'm wishing bad luck upon you). ask the guys in the west coast forum. We could recommend all kinds of places to you for your auto needs, cheap.

well that would be hard to do since he is in Cali and i am in PA...different prices for different states...not to mention my company rips people off, so there is no way that i could give him a complete estimate on a new shield. Every glass company has their own set prices.

if you live anywhere in florida, your supposed to get at least one free windshield a year. you call you insurance company and they'll give you the number of a repair specialist. my brother got a crack in his and they tried to put it as claim where he'd have to pay a certain amount. Allstate is good, but they pull some s*** sometimes.
