That's good idea on the (4) wheel balance and bringing to Tech's attention of possible flat spot(s), I don't think it is that, but it could not hurt, perhaps I can get to 55mph with a rebalance. My butt dyno tells me to replace all the parts up front, the whole shabang. All the bushings are showing signs they have never been replaced. It is a California car, so our weather plays havoc on plastic and rubber. The brakes were scary when I got it, so tackled that first, whilst in there decided to change outside bearing and seal.
As far as the struts, I have been waiting (5) weeks, nada, zilch, nothing,
so no progress as of yet. Purchased on Amazon and Vendor did not state on website they were out of stock, until after I placed the order. Still looking for a matching set, I can get the KYB 234008 from Summit, but not the KYB 234009, kinda of looking for hens teeth on KYB 234009 unit.
So far, not really enjoying the car, still a ways to go. I am sure once I get everything replaced on front end and an alignment, perhaps new meats, I will indeed enjoy the Capri. I got this as a project, cause I like tinkering and to me it is wrench therapy, but the lack of parts availability is admittedly getting frustrating and taking some of fun out the project.
I appreciate the warm welcome !!!
