Weird. I wrote to the list around new year's complaining that the
front suspension on my 83 was squeaking over hard bumps like coming
into a driveway ramp. It was pretty wet at the time. Now that it's
dry around here, the squeak has stopped. .Go figure. Mine's at 256K
miles. Maybe they go through phases in their lives. Dry squeak, wet
squeak. What's next?
