Interior Door handles

I took my 07 to Pep Boys for some tire balancing and they broke the drivers side door handle. Granted, I had done the JB weld fix to it almost a year ago but the guy obviously was rough on it to break it. So they are giving me a free alignment which is nice. Low and behold the door handles are now available on line for $50. I got one and installed it and have no more problems. Just put it in a browser and it will pop up.

U R right about that! But that's ok. I was going to replace it anyway. The problem I was really having was the right rear wheel/tire was giving me fits after replacing the tires. After 3 balancing attempts and buying a used rim I happened to spin the hub after removing the tire to move it to the front as a last step to verify it was a bad tire. The hub was bad! Replaced it and wutdayano, smooth ride! So I'm a happy camper again, albeit selling some used rims I just bought!
