Okay... well at least you aren't driving the car. When I got my car, I knew my tie rod end was VERY loose. Turns out when I went to remove the tie rod end, I just angled the tie rod a bit to one side and it came right off the ball-socket part. It was scary. That meant if I had hit a bump or two just right on my way to the parts store, I could've been screwed pretty badly. Same goes for the person that drove the car to my house 4 hours on the highway like that. So much for people claiming to be certified GM techs and thinking that the noise the car was making was a "broken sway bar endlink"...
