Thanks for the quick reply. I have been keeping eye on those spring mounts that best I can. I have had this car for 2.5 years, prior to this it was in Florida.

Any comments on the tools I mentioned and or doing the job itself. I plan on doing this myself then taking in for alignment. Most of it looks straight forward, I am just concerned about the balljoint area that calls for these tools. I also will be installing new tires and shocks. I know that when changing the upper control, the shock needs to stay in place.
