I have a 76 2.0 (owned for 27 years) and it still has all the original stock suspension components/sway bars. The front has been squeaking for years and I’m finally ready to address the issue(s).
Without breaking the bank, what should I order/install. The car has 55k original miles and is only driven during the summer on the streets. Any advice/input greatly appreciated!! |

A arm bushings are probably the primary issue Not super easy, but Ian did a really good video

We will take back what you don't use no problem. Having done the job without using an install tool (Heat and soap. Lots, and lots, and LOTS of soap, I don't think I've ever seen the workbench so clean) my suggestion is: use the damn install tool. |
