I thought I would post some data in case it might be any use to anyone.
I purchased a bit of a basket case 91 as far as suspension and a couple of other niggly things.
When I purchased the car would vibrate violently at 44 mph, car was parked for ~ 2 years, so
I was thinking and could still be a factor of "flat tiring". 1st thing I did was replace the outer
wheel bearings and seals. Test drive put at me 49 mph before severe vibration. Replaced both
lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends. I can now get up to 60mph before any noticeable
vibration, but no longer violent, the lower ball joints were pretty loose. I plan on pulling
both control arms and rebush those new inner wheel bearings new rubber for the sway bar.
I'm gettin' there, so this actually fairly easy, so being an amateur mechanic, if I find it relatively
easy, I suspect a lot more of you who think you can't tackle this type of work, you can, just need
patience and a little research. KYB struts won't be in stock until late October to mid November.
For some reason, there are -0- KYB 234008's in the U.S., plenty of KYB 234009's.
