AdamE53 is on a distinguished road
Had my vehicle's suspension inspected and found that the rear end basically has to be rebuilt.
So, ordered the first phase of parts: rear lower ball joints, integral links and upp, fwd control arms.
Thought it would be a normal amount of work but the eccentric bolts holding the control arms on were seized into the bushing, so the sawzall took those off. Ordered new eccentric bolts with nut and washer, $160cad for both sides. Removing the lower ball joints was fun when I realized that a standard c clamp style press wouldn't work. Ordered the proper press off of Amazon ($65cad) and they were both in and out in a half hour. Reinstalling the links was also fun as I didn't realize how loaded the lower control arm was. Removed and loosened everything holding it in place then installed everything, torqued everything at ride height and now all is well.
Next phase is subframe bushings and upper, rear control arms.
