moving along pretty good so far. went and ahead with front Tokico front struts and rear shocks. also doing the whole front, lower control arms, upper control, strut rod bushings and all the sway bar bushings. pass. side is done less the sway bar bushings and bolting the tie rod back up, need a boot. pass. side went well less playing around with getting alittle more ride height out of the lowered springs that are on the car. looking or about 3/4 of a inch or so which i did get. drivers side is all apart less the upper the control arm, the rear bolt is kicking my ass today and since the strut rod kicked my ass already i nothing left to be kicked so called it a day. strut is already on the spring so once i get the upper off tomorrow it's time to install everything which should go pretty easy.

i had a death rattle in the front end which was getting worst... the upper ball joint on the pass side was really bad. BUTT the lower strut rod bushings in the control arm were gone in both sides. the frame bushings were not bad at all but went ahead and changed them. so far so good...

once i get the front done i will do the rear. i want to get my ride height up front where i went it then level the rear out.:wink:
