First on the agenda was to service the rear suspension. While surfing the bootleg EPC I have, I noticed a footnote with regards to springs. Apparently the electric rear seat is an option and requires a heavier spring and thicker pads. Joy! So the springs and pads I ordered before were for the normal car without the extra weight. Explains the sag...
New HD springs, new 3-nub pads, new anti-roll bar links, and new subframe bushings went in. The subframe bushings were original to the car and completely collapsed. Since my car is rust-free, replacing them was remarkably easy. After reading story after story about how awful the job is, I was expecting the worst and it simply wasn't bad at all.
Check out the anti-roll bar link.....think maybe it's been rubbing the wheel a bit?
