RJ;

I agree with Bill...the bushings are essentially porous, so when soaking them they will take up a certain amount of oil...not as much as when the whole thing takes place in a Vac chamber obviously, but also not nearly as much work (read: Dissassembly) involved either.

As far as defrost issues...if you have abnormally excessive fogging on the inside glass surface, it sure sounds like you have excessive moisture in the cabin, and that can be caused by any number of things you can probably list too...I suggest you dry out the cabin (110VAC heater overnight maybe), and make sure you don't have a cooling system leak...also get the normal amount of air moving by the blower (make impeller whole), finally since a portion of the defrost air is route to the rear footwell at the same time defrost air is selected, stuff soft foam into those outlets (just behind seatbelt loop on driveshaft hump), this will put ALL the defrost air to the windshield (at the cost of your rearseat passenger's tootsies)...

I also agree with Bill's windshield suggestions...if the gasket is hard, and you are saving the glass, waste the old gasket instead of taking a chance on wasting the glas, by cutting away the lips which hold it in place...ALLWAYS repair rust which occurs on body under gasket, and return the sealing/holding edge to good condition before reinstalling windshield with new gasket. I've always heard to install soft aluminum trim onto gasket before installing into car, but I have no firsthand experience with this...the Snow Weasel does'nt have trim anymore...it got pretty pretzeled up on removal...I did repair rust and gave the new seal a decent surface to seal to...

Cheers
