Going for the front suspension replacement record.

1. Decided to upgrade to Taliaferro Bushings. Used the evil fork type ball join splitter. Destroyed the ball joint booties in the process. This is suspension dismantling "numero uno" I did manage to get the bushings installed. :)
2. Replaced all springs and shocks. Installed new ball join booties to correct oops from previous installation. This is suspension dismantling numero dos. Broke the strut mount stud (1/3) :) Toe in was lost when the car was dropped about 1 inch.
3. Replaced the strut mount. Dismantled the entire strut assembly to add 50ml of coolant (as suggested by Koni) to the Koni Sport Strut Inserts. Noticed that one of the Koni's appears to be leaking oil!! This is suspension dismantling #3. I decided to spring for a new alignment which was much needed.
4. It appears I will be doing the dismantling again, as oil leaking from Konis is not normal. There is some discrepancy between the Koni site (which says some is normal) and the resellers and users, which say it should not be leaking oil at all. So we will see if I have to do this suspension thing YET again!?!
