Here is what I plan to get done...  |
You did not mention the idler arm bushing. On our '91 in CA, this is the ONLY item in the front suspension/steering that was worn out, so I would bet yours is too, and a notable cause of imprecision and wander in the steering. I did replace sway bar bushings to firm up handling and 'cause it's an easy job.
Shotgun replacements often miss the point, since without diagnosis it is easy to miss that ONE item that is causing a problem. Techs may find it easier to recommend that approach since it saves them diagnostic time, and what do they care if you still have a problem? Just more money in their pockets. Impress on them that you expect your problem to be resolved, or they'll have to keep and put back the old parts so you can seek resolution elsewhere.
