Now comes the question part of the post:
1. 'While it's out' (the a-arm, for drilling, I mean) should I replace my
ball joints? How about replacing all of those front control arm bushings
with polyurethane? If I do this, are there any surprises lurking for me?
*How much damage will this do to my wallet?*
2. How do I install the damned bar? Looking at it, it appears to attach to
the control arm on top? Is this correct? When I measure and mark the
drilling points, should there be a load on the arms (should the wheels be
on the ground? This would make sense to me, but how do I mark where the
drill holes should be? Is there a template to follow where to drill
available?
3. I guess I should take the arms off when I drill. Will this affect my
alignment?
4. What should I lubricate the bushings with? (Assuming that I actually DO
get to the point of being able to do anything!)
5. Why me? I'm a good guy!
Any hints, answers, or commiserating stories will be very welcome! (Sorry,
though, my beer budget was blown at the machine shop...)
