Thanks for your time, josh

if you can't afford it, just close your windows and turn up the music...
Concerning safety issues... the clunking will get worse, and the balloon rubbing noise will get worse... If the WD40 quiets them now, later, it won't do jack... I understand being low on cash, the shop I go to spotted me half the job (paid them back within 2 weeks)... but only advice is.. if you have any experience with unbolting and bolting stuff back together... do this yourself. Couldn't believe I let them charge me $1500 for the job.... should've done it all myself for half price...
