Spring perches are in good shape. I completely rebuilt the front end last year with all new parts, except the knuckles are original.
I bought a set of IRWIN left handed cobalt drill bits with coresponding bolt extractors. The drill bits cut like butter but the extractors have not been very useful. Now there is a very thin wall of the old bolt stuck to the threads of the hole and it will not budge! Bi-metal fusion? I have to admit that my drill hole is a little off-center but does not seem to be touching the fitting in the body. Ordered a new (donor) subframe last night from Alabama with an alleged 110K on it. Hoping it has never seen salty roads!
