Default On a rack at Genesis Engineering in Concord
The car did feel a tad lose on our last drive, so I had them look at the linkage and control arms. Two complete tears on the drivers side and two partial tears on the passenger side. (flashlight, mirror, knowledge and experience were the diagnosing techniques used).

And visual confirmation at Diablo Audi.
