Well, I really hadn't expected so much work and expense as I really wanted to see if there was any better choice for the front end of my car, but I see I had better just upgrade mine when the time comes. I have no problem with mine at the present, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it! The ride with gas shocks and radial tires is smooth and quiet. I did notice the other day that when I drove slowly over a speed bump that the front end got a bit "busy" and made some noises. that's the only place I have noticed anything out of the ordinary with the suspension up front. I will just leave well enough alone until it gets worse or breaks. Thanks for all the input guys. I am a half-a##ed shadetree mechanic and still learning at my age of 70 years young .
