propshaft? Driveshaft? Fine I guess. Although, on my TJ I have a bit of
play (turning, not in-out) in it. Is that bad??

Rotors were warped, which toasted my "new" pads. The rear drums needed
turning, and the rear end just needed a good cleaning/adjustment.

The guy says the front shocks are making the popping noise. Doesn't make a
lot of sense. I know they're beat up (the rear one has already blown the
seal), but didn't think they could "pop". Besides, I'd SWEAR the popping is
coming from the rear. Anyhow, tried to sell me Monroe Sensatrac shocks.
Said no thanks, but took the brake work.

Guess I'll be ordering some DT3000's tonight. Wanted to get this fixed
before the weekend, but probably won't get the shocks before then. Do you
guys really think shocks are the issue? She needs them anyway, so it isn't
a big deal to buy them -- just was trying to hold out as long as possible.
