Just finished my suspension rebuild, wow, lots of work. I was doing it at a friends place with a lift and a press, and air.
I cant imagine doing it on my back on a garage floor. Man, I am exausted.
took me about 15 hrs total. I bought the original kit, rubber, not Poly, had to bang out the lower bushings, not fun.
My left lower front bushing, the one with the extension through the crossmember, what ever its called, was completey shot, it was spinning in the bore. Left strut rod bushing was garbage too, wondered what that noise was when i hit the brakes, or a bump with the left side.
The upper ball joint that came with the kit was bad, wouldnt thread in, so i had to go get one from the parts store.
Everything else was retty straight forward, just got to get a alighnment, the steering feels way tighter, the car sounds different too, probably due to all the new cushioning.
