Please don't get mad at me for keeping up this thread. I remember how pissed
everyone was about the terrible 12v vs 6v coil thread that I started on SOL.
I agree that the original rubber upper a arm bushings would be worn out after
so many years no matter how many miles, but I was thinking more along the
line of the nylon bushings on the steel sleeves.
When I redid my supension, these nylon busings were all so egg shaped, it
made me cringe to think I had been driving the car at all. Some of them were
even worn through and wearing on the arms themselves. This to me was a sure
sign that the suspension had trully never been rebuilt. And that the car was
not a low milage car at all. (Never claimed It was, Just never knew.)
As if the 5 pounds of dirt I scraped off the suspension parts wasn't a clue
to that!
