I had cowboys do my brakes,they had to smash off the front rotors and broke the spindle and bearing doing so.I had another spindle put on but the steering has never been right,I think I need to have the spindle replaced again.1st is this a big job,can I get the part from a junk yard to save $ as I remember they wanted over $600 for the job.What should I expect to pay,I am hearing the same noise from the same location,is it dangerous to put it off too long?
