Thanks for all of your advice and knowledge. I looked at the A-arm and it snapped at one of the bolts. MS was right, the axle related damage consisted of tri-pod bearing damage when it popped out of the inner driver. the inner driver was also stripped and needs to be replaced. I've witnessed the damage w/ my own eyes. So the cost now includes:
New A-arm
New ball bearing
New axle (because of tri-pod bearing damage)
New inner driver (because it got stripped)
Used power steering reservoir (when A-arm snapped, the power steering whose was disloged and caused one of the reservoir tubes to bust).
Does $1,100 sound reasonable now? Also, this work is being done in San Francisco, CA--where mechanics charge $90/hr. Thanks in advance for your responses.
