Sadly yes, He was very apologetic about it though. The U-joint gave him some issues, so he may have been a bit rushed. He wont make the same mistake again.. He is a good mechanic, just not familiar with real old cars, but he & his 2 person shop are very eager to learn, so Im getting a break on labor. Im just super glad I looked closer at the pictures. Have no idea how long its been like that, could have been decades, the cover looks like it kept it from backing out further.
