This is just a short note to say thanks for all of your help.

I successfully replaced:
all front end bushings
both ball joints
tie rod ends
steering boots
installed IPD sway bars & lower chassis brace
all belts
timing belt
water pump

The car was on jack stands for about two weeks, but I was able to borrow another car from a friend. Looking back it was all fairly easy. However, I could not have done it without your help. All parts except for the IPD ones were from FCP groton. This does include many Scan-tech parts. I did invest in a cheap 1/2" impact wrench, which was a big help with the front end! I found a set of impact sockets at Autozone for about $20.

Now my 740 drives like new and corners too well - now I just love the freeway onramps.
next up is the headliner and I am not yet satisfied with the AC.

Thanks again,
Steve
