if you've got a die grinder or drill, and some patience, you've got
what you need to do the uppers. the lower ball joints (according to my

ripped left lower boot), so that's slightly more involved.

anyone have anything more to say on the suspension bushings? I know
mine are starting to look a bit dried out. who carries them, who makes
them, could it be a parking lot + hand tool weekend project, etc?
