                  they start to sag the older they get. I figured it was for you and that you would eventually want lowering springs.

                      Pat Im pretty sure that bjoints are a PITA and need to be pressed in/out. Just FYI... that's why new steel arms are not that expensive. May want to look at new ones depending on prices...

                      Spring seats, wheel bearings, bleed brakes??? swaybar bushings, unless your girl wants a really rough ride (strictly car speaking) then I'd keep to rubber & stock springs.....

                          Yeah, she prefers a gentle ride as too hard of bushings make it uncomfortable. I'm probably going to do the control arms and bushings and baybe the tie rods.
