Hornet status...



I've been driving my 70 Hornet now for a 8 weeks or so and about
2500 miles.

I have the worst luck with certain parts. I had a new NAPA oil
pressure (idiot light) sender fail. And this past weekend I had to
change out the drivers-side strut bushing!

It was a new part, I forget the brand installed. Maybe I'm
installing them wrong -- I have the cupped washer with the concave
side towards the rubber.

( and ) the washers, H the pair of rubber bushings.

I have a completely different design set on my Rambler, with the front
washer convex side towards the rubber:

as per instructions in the box; it's a much heavier-looking design
than the usual part. But anyways.


ANyways it got crushed and split, ruining toe. Installed a new NAPA part, now I have to get toe set again.

The front end was perfectly aligned. Everything is perfectly
square.  THe eccentrics are in the center of the range on the
bottom with factory-correct settings: 0 camber, something-caster,
1/16" toe. No groans, klunks, loose parts or other craziness.  The
passenger side is fine, both installed at the same time both from
the same box.
