Nice work Frank. It looks like you're in for some smooth traveling.
Did you have any trouble removing those long bolts that run through
the upper control arm bushings? I worked for hours and finally had to
saw between the bushing and frame on one of them. I did use plenty of
grease when I put them back together ;-)
Smooth sailing,
