I know this isn't much of a build for the time being, more of a replacement of shitty parts, but I got the ball joints done the other day, ran into a couple of problems.
the passenger side lower control arm has one huge rust hole in it, both front sway bar links are shit, and both of the LCA's bushings are cracked and worn pretty badly along with the driver's side axle spindle's threads being f'd which lead to die grinding and hoping that the castle nut will stay on, the passenger side boot is torn (not clicking yet though, thank god for quick boots).
Going to end up buying new LCAs through eBay, two for a bill and free shipping. Maybe swapping on some poly bushings (anyone use them for the LCAs?), replacing only the driver's side for now until I can scrounge up some money for the passenger side.
Pretty sure that the ball joints were factory. Well, definitely sure. I'll snag a picture just to show how shitty of condition they were in.
I also ordered in DME's kit, one more Eibach front camber adjustment, and OE rear camber bolts to get everything set in stone for alignment.
Bought some 17" 1999 Ford Mustang wheels wrapped in Continental ContiExtremeContact 245/45/ZR17s. They'll rub a tad so it leads to me learning how to roll fenders in the future. Only ran me $250 and there's still a decent amount of tread left on the tires which will definitely get me through winter. They're in pretty good condition as well, but I'll eventually paint them black, maybe with a small silver lip. I don't know if I'm going to be going with a gloss or a flat black, opinions?
