The left front subframe attaching area on the body had rusted out, but fortunately it was repaired with a steel plate before we got the car. One of the round retainer plates fell off later on, though, so we got one and a bolt from a forum member.


The left rear plate was cracked, so a replacement was found at a wrecking yard.


The front suspension creaks loudly and shakes above 70 MPH, and it pulls hard to the right. I took the car to an alignment shop and they said that every component of the front suspension will need to be replaced before they will do any work. So, a front end suspension rebuild is in the future.
