Thanks psfred.

I spent quite a while on those control arms today. Shelled out for a Dremel though which paid for itself right away in ease of rust removal in those eyelets. In fact I dremeled out the entire bushing surface to make ready for the POR. I didn't bore it out , just deburred everything and took the surface down to bare metal with a fine grit grinder. It was silky smooth in there and now the POR is on it. We'll see how it turns out tomorrow.

On another subject, while I have the spring compressor what do I need to do to the rear end? The spring pads on the front end were serviceable and I don't suppose they are shot on the rear. There is no torque steer so I don't think the trailing arm bushings need to be replaced. I will change the rear subframe bushings and shocks but don't need the Klann for that. Before I send it back, what do I need to get at?

Thanks!
