Well, the left strut is in. What a chore. The radius arm bushings were totally shot, as the FAQ suggested would be the case (I have a complete set of bushings for the front end). I should have gotten a set of ball joints too, though. The left ball joint boot is split and will have to be replaced. Bah. Hopefully I'll be able to get to a part store tomrrow and hopefully they will have a set of ball joints.

One note on the job. The FAQ suggests having a couple of long breaker bars. Take heed. Some of the bolts were VERY tight.

Cheers!
Barra
