Thanks, the trim stuff was turtle wax brand at oriellys. I got the trim restorer fold all automotive siding and stuff. I did NOT get the stuff that says specifically for black. The reason why is because that stuff is a black dye that will stain your paint. It happened on my suzuki on a small spot once. The turtle wax stuff is clear like a glu gun stick and its consistency is the same as any gel. Comes with applicator sponge. And I do not know what the previous owner had done with his mini. I had got it at 250k miles. So it could been just every day use or hard roading. I couldn't tell you. What I can say for sure is while researching those bushings everywhere i found people said you had to tug hard to pull the arm out of the bushing(i did not whatsoever) and that this was a common issue(bushings failing) Well I noticed a "snag" feeling when first braking and getting on it. Plus I could feel the wheels shaking bad 55+ So I replaced. And good as new

 

Its not a project rebuild. This is my daily driver. I have a 350hp suzuki tuner that is my build and project. I am going to do light enough mods to daily drive it but enough to have some fun when I do. I definitely have a lot of suspension mods in mind and I am thinking some coil overs next to lower her a couple inches.
