he has no say in the matter of how the insurance company makes their decision, so how can he just total the car to get it replaced??

thanks alot

Theyre referring to the spindle and steering knuckle. Its the part that the wheel and front rotor connect to and the knuckle is the part that the steering tie-rod bolts to.

I thought that theyre th same except that the upper strut bearing is different. I recall some guy with an '03 having to replace them with '02 parts in order to get his lowering springs installed. Sumptin like 35 bucks each side for parts. Sorry this probably doenst help much unless you plan on lowering your car now.
