Well I did forget to mention that the A-arm bushings are those thar nylatron
things. Does this make a difference? From the sound of it I won't ??? have
to do the reaming???(sounds like that could hurt) Just grease 'em up
REAL good and slid them in. Or is it as you described? Or am I way out in
left field here? I do understand about the actual kingpin bushings, the one
that let the kingpin slop around when worn, not just clunking, and very
erratic steering when rubber meets wet pavement. I guess that's what
happens when a non-enthusaist/non-mechanical person owns the car before
you. I beleive they drove it till it dropped, or could'nt afford to put
the money into it to make it right. :(
