Lol. I know how to downshift. Thanks though. Been driving for 20 years.
Clunk, Clunk, Clunk ONLY when turning Right?

It really should be a no-brainer, clutch versus brakes. One is a giant pain in the ass, the other is barely more difficult than changing the oil, even when ignoring the cost difference between the two. But come on, the OP was gonna believe his friend that the trans was bad when it was obviously an axle knocking.
$78 for rotors/pads is a crazy good price, don't know why you aren't happy with that. especially considering it would have been close to 150-170 for a shop to do it...Just did my fronts yesterday came to $78 at orielys auto parts. Both rotors and pads. wish I would have ordered off ebay
Should I buy this kit? It's $160 and includes the following:

They then go on to state:
"Worn ball joints can cause excessive front tire wear, popping or creaking in the front end, extra play in the steering system, and pose a serious safety concern. Replace loose or worn ball joints with our quality replacement. One way to diagnose a loose, or warn ball joint, is to jack the car up, so the wheel is off of the ground, then have someone try to move the wheel in and out. While they are moving the wheel check the ball joint for play, if it is moving you probably need to replace it.
Remember whenever you are replacing any front end or steering components you should have your vehicle professionally aligned as soon as possible. This will ensure proper tracking and even tire wear."
What all should I replace, just what needs to be replaced, what bearing, bushing and other rubber pieces should I replace?
I'll try you guys' new fangled brake riding technique vs using the engine and clutch to down shift and slow down next time I drive.
