I've got the wandering wagon syndrome...

My 87TD feels like it wants to change lanes on me, I went under the car and found a damaged link, one bad bushing on a link, and a bad LCA bushing.

Yes but hearing that our resident tech and mod has such pedestrian car issues is like Luke Skywalker finding that Yoda has BO.

Rear spindle bushings might be toast.

That stuff is all on the rear right? Yeah, it is pretty dramatic how squirrelly they get when those little link bushings just go bad.

when under there I noticed the SLS valve bushings are toast, and disconnected from the arm...
ANND one of the links looks like someone took a hot knife to it! cut almost 1/2 way through... I'll post up some pics when I get time to put the car on a lift...


Pfft, I'm far from a resident tech expert! I'm a fine mechanic, and I know how to look up repair procedures... I'm just an expert on refrigeration!
