sorry for the multi-post... my ISP is sucking (wireless) and I guess it registered three times due to me clicking POST so many times. Gotta get rid of these guys.... [QUOTE] Alrighty. First, thanks Tegger and jim beam for your input. Put the back end of my car back together tonight. New rear upper arms, and new shocks (monroe). Seems to have taken care of the play I mentioned earlier. New shocks also make the car sit a little higher than before. The old shocks were tired.... :) Snapped another bolt (shock mount to lower arm), but thankfully I had an extra (dealer actually sold me those bolts instead of the other one I broke yesterday, they didn't have the right one in stock. These are the shock mount bolt and the lower arm to trailing arm pivot bolt). Drives like a champ. Well a champ in need of an alignment... Saturday will bring me to the front end. Will be doing that wheel bearing, the passenger caliper, and the front shocks. The guy at Partsource sold me some stabilizer bar links. For the life of me I can't seem to remember there being a stabilizer bar on my car. I thought that they were just in the SIs. But perhaps I've just never noticed it. One thing... how hard is it to screw up reassembly of the strut in the rear? For some reason, I couldn't get the top mounting collar to seat where I thought it should. The strut went back on no problem and everything seems ok, but I found it a bit odd. After front end stuff is done, its off to the tire shop. And after seeing how complex the rear wishbone is, its going to the dealer for alignment. Don't trust just any monkey to monkey around with all that stuff... :) t [quoted text clipped - 30 lines][QUOTE] I bought all my suspension fasteners from the dealer. A big price, but at least they're correct for the car.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
