Got her home.. Travelled light with pretty much only those smqll tools amd some sockets stuffed in the gloves box... Ive learned the hard way when carrying in a small shop, you have to carry it back out, if the wheelbarrows are all gone..

[Mackadocious916]

So I woke up late, but wanted to get her done... Went out and set up drill, but found rubber grommets in factory holes plugging em up, so once drilled out rubber/ easy, got bar in in no time...

Dropped her and turned wheels side to side to tighten end links..

Coming together...

So the only parts I have are rtv sealant, k&n oil filter and synthtic castrol oil for oil change, johnny cat litter to get spill off driveway... But if I continue and do timing belt, seals, oil pump, oil pan system, may wait until then... Also thinking about radiator and hoses because it looks old... But charging system is strong first crank start... So alignment and wheels balance, then slow down with the fun stuff like braces, but then I may put that money back into mini me for rocksliders, rear bumper..

Then I took her down for an alignment, and wasnt impressed...
After all I did I expected more, and was hoping alignment fixed the issues....
Paid $69 for the alignment. They pointed put ps rack mount bushings were so shot it was changing caster every bump. Also the strut pillow mounts were bad, and camber bolts are needed from rims... Also I knew sway frame area bushings were shot...
And I am now leaking atf seemingly from drivers axle... So I didnt change axle seals, nor pillow mounts, and both have come back to haunt me... I will just do em again, the right way, and keep you posted...

I also ordered. Camber bolts, pillow mounts, and am shopping for ps rack bushings and seats are like $4 each.

 

[Mackadocious916]

Sway bushings, not seats

 

[Mackadocious916]

I got the ps rack bushings in, but felt the stock ones weren't bad like the mechanic suggested. I did notice one of the rear engine brace bolts on the bottom is loose. One of the kind where it's like I stud that nit goes on to brace it down, but just spins with no area to get vice grips on to stop the spinning....
Anyways.... I also see driver axel seal bad, but not passenger... Alsofoumd fill star key for atf.... And noticed oil leak likely from oil pump/ crank seals leaking on belt and getting tossed around... Had this issue on 22re before....new pil pump all was well...

But I went out today, took some pics for documenting clister swap mileage as it added bought 30k to dash...

I got the pillow mounts, and camber bolts in the mail, but last trip out had like 15 mosquito bites, and haven't been back out...

 

[Mackadocious916]

I was excavating dirt between my and my neighbor's driveway, and watched at least 50 vids of concrete diy...I have one job of experience skreeting, but I want to expand drive way to fence.... Its roughly 3ft x 30ft... We shall see..

That's not a cluster to where you can swap the odometers? You gonna just live with the 27,000 additonal miles on it?
