Re: 740/ the "kick" test 700 86

To answer your questions...both are a yes. I am just trying to eliminate the "replacement syndrome". You know...start replacing parts and see if you eliminate the cause. I know that after replacing the strut rod bushings, there are lower ball joints, and some other bushings in that assembly along with the strut inserts themselves. I'm sure there is a little warpage on the brake rotors, too, but that is a distinct different feel. I don't feel the pulsing as much in the brake pedal as opposed to the steering wheel.

I know a lot of people just simply replace the front suspension at will but I have MANY things to fix on this thing and some of them I don't feel comfortable doing myself do to lack of tools and a decent method of jacking the car up. That's another thing, there aren't too many good jack points on this 740. Thank goodness for Christmas time, huh?
