Thanks to all (especially Bryan) for your help. I'm a relatively new
Vanagon owner and being stuck in a field with a broken, 22 year old
vehicle that's impossible to find parts for is more than a little
unnerving. Of course, it was Folk Fest and the tequila helped.

As it turns out, what was wrong with the front end was darn near
everything. Lehman's did a great job. Four weeks and $1800 later my Westy
rides like a Cadillac. OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the ride
is superb.

I don't know what I would have done without Bryan, this list, the guys at
Bus Depot and Chad at Lehman's.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
