      Well I picked up the front spindles, hubs, rotors, calipers, and a set of tubular A-Arms for $125 today. The arms are unmarked and do not have spring cups so I will have to measure them to see if they are fox length, 94/95, or 96-04. Either way, they won't be used right away, the guy just threw them in the deal. The assembly needs some cleaning though. Plenty of surface rust but nothing terrible, it should clean up fine. Now I need some new springs, shocks, and struts. I think I am going with the $100 spring set from LMR, and likely just some autozone replacement shocks and struts for the time being till I can fork out $400-500 for a set.

      Not a good idea to go Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor on the power phallus.

        Good choice sir.

        I wish I could come across a deal like that!

          Pull the a arms off your car. Drill out the rubber part of the arm bushing. Clean out the "shell" with whatever works. Buy some poly bushings and moog balljoints. Put together and drive it. Sell those a arms to cover bushing,balljoints costs. It's not that hard.

          Order some tokico "blues" at a minimum.
          One day at a time.
