Thanks! A little at a time.
Front struts and endlinks are on. Did it last night. I'll get some pics this evening when I install the rears. Front endlinks had NO urethane/rubber left. Bolt was just dangling in there so the sway bar was actually doing nothing. This morning's drive should be a lot better.

The front seemed more planted today. It didn't want to wander around and it didn't feel like it was swimming. The front end didn't dive down going over the same speed bump this morning. So it has definately made an improvement. The old endlinks were bent and rusted. The bushings were just crumbling in my hand.

Now that I've caught my breath, picked up a starter, IAC valve, oil/filter and Coolant temp switch today. Made my own "Honey-Do" list for this weekend!

Well, the steering is real sloppy and everything under there, minus the endlinks, is 20+ years old. That and the seals are shot around the doors and window. The hatch seal is new, but this kit is cheaper than piecing it together.
I'm doing the panhard bar first which will help in corners. Then either a new torque arm or just new bushings for it. Torque arm runs from the the rear of the transmission back to the rear diff.
