Hi Ralph. I did the control arm bushings about a year ago. I think the rest are good. Is there a way to check them other than the wheel 'wiggle/twist' test? Would bad balljoints/rod ends cause a rough ride?

New Springs and Shocks..anything else I should consider changing? Any brand recommendations? Lots of people seem happy with the Bilsteins. BrettVancouver, BC91 Vanagon with Subaru 2.2L, Manual Tranny. |
