    We replaced my front control arm bushings, sway bar bushings and the steering rack bushing with the "Powerflex" poly bushings. Then we replaced the 4 ball joints and also the tie rod's. We also replaced my rear control arms with the Helix arms. Then Dave at Kuratas did his magic :cornut:

    You have the list except for the ball joints and tire rod ends. We should probably add them to your list because of your mileage since we are there already.

    Have the clutch and friction plate on hand. Need to save a little for the list above, and the BSH lower mount. Oh, can't forget the labor for it all:crazy:

    You mentioned you replaced your rear control arms with Helix. What did you have installed before?

    Ah shucks! I was under the impression they would last forever. How many miles did you have on the Altas?

    PS. Did you have upper and lower sets?

    They didn't last 50k. My Helixes lasted 120k and still aren't as loose as his Altas. But, then, his front suspension components didn't last 70k, either.

    You do realize that Sunday was the 2-year anniversary. Sad thing man. My buddy David & I had lunch last Thursday and it still weirds me out every time we talk about it. I'm thankful we're both still here & kickin'.

    Dr.Steve, can you post up the CF pic of the new interior pieces I e-mailed to you earlier today? You're the only one who's seen em'. Even JIMINNImachine hasn't seen em' yet.
