Uh, oh . . . what happened here?

The parts pile is growing -

You probably guesed that I will also be rebuilding the front suspension also, hoping to get it done for Fall so I can drive it!

Look at all this carnage -

This is the drivers lower bushing, the passenger side was not nearly as bad.

A little cleanup on the drivers side

This is the idler arm off the car, there are no grease fittings. Could this be the original? Unbelievably it is still very tight too!

Dissasembly - turns out the front shocks are done-in unlike the rears. Gonna put KYB's on it.

My wagon will be looking like that soon. It will be interesting to see how much tatered stuff I find.
