In the three weeks I've owned my 850, I have replaced:

-an odo gear
-both tie rod ends
-the left axle
-both control arms
-front struts, spring seats, and bearing plates
-front brake hoses
-top engine mount
-left headlight lens
-both headlight wiring harnesses

It's been an exciting few weeks and now I'm extra excited to get the beast aligned and all ready to go up to Ontario in four days. I got a good deal on the car and figured there'd be various problems....now the front end should be good for at least 50K miles. At least it better be!

Thanks to those of you who have helped me get this car figured out. The axle actually came out and went in quite easily. Toughest thing was getting one of the tie rod ends to come loose from the inner tie rod. I'd never had an issue like that before. Anyways, the engine runs beautifully and the manual tranny shifts great.

Thanks again brickboard folks!
