Bey, Brian T, Thanks for the advice! I'm not sure the milage on the car, I think it has roughly 80,000 miles on it. It's not going to really matter since everything on it has been pretty much changed on it any how. I discovered the tranny isn't even from that car. at any rate the Ball joints appear to have been replaced and in good condition as does the tie rod ends. Will I need a spring compressor for the lower struts? I did not even think about the upper ones, I need to check em to be sure they are ok. I know the lower ones kinda resemble squashed black bugs. There all kinda flat and coming appart. any how, Take care, Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
