My car broke!

So I fixed it!…
Bearings in the CV axle shot, steering wheel went all wobbly, loud noises started scaring me.
Took it to the shop and up on the lift.  Saw that the tie rod end was bad and after getting the bad CV axle out decided to stop the transmission leak as well by getting a new seal.
$181 later:
1 CV Axle
1 CV Axle seal
1 Tie rod end
2 Litre 5w-30 oil for transmission
1 Extra large coffee~!!!
Here are some pics along the way

Now I need an alignment, I have a different kind of wobble now.

Thanks to Dad for supervising
