David,
Thanks for the comments, but since I haven't done anything to the suspension
yet, I think I'm just going to replace it. I had been expecting to do a
swivel pin replacement anyway. Turns out the arms don't seem to be very
expensive (just a bit over 100 - about 1/2 what I expected) so I'm going to
replace both arms and swivel pins and be done with it.
Thanks,
Eddie
