ok well sorry that i havent updated... fuck rear suspension installs. i HATE them.

here is the story: 2 bolts seized in the bushings. the bolts from the strut to LCA in the rear. so new bolts and new bushings. then all of the bushings on the rear LCA needed to be replaced because they were falling apart. THEN the bolt for the trailing arm to the LCA broke. so i paid a dealership 53 dollars for new bolts, and i bought energy suspension bushings for the rear LCA's. i picked them up last night after work... got to my friends house and there were only 4 bushings in the box (need six)... i read the instructions and energy suspension makes a separate bushing set the the strut to rear LCA. SOOOOOO the bushings will be in monday and the car will be done. FINALLY

i dont know... apparently its common right now in st. louis too... i called a local shop for the bushings that i need, and the lady at the front desk said that she was going to go ahead and order the bushings because i was the 3rd person that called that day asking for the same thing. weird... but it is true that a lot of ppl are having trouble with the LCA's. my big problem was just because they had sooo many miles on them without ever being removed or changed.

ooo there will be reviews. dont worry about that. well since the front is done we lowered the car off the jack stands in the front. i must say i am very impressed with how stiff it has become. i weigh about 145 and i balanced on my hands right above the wheel on the fender and bounced up and down and there was maybe a centimeter of play. so i am very happy with this setup so far. i just cant wait to ge the back done and take it on some back roads.
