I have a 76 2.0 (owned for 27 years) and it still has all the original stock suspension components/sway bars. The front has been squeaking for years and I’m finally ready to address the issue(s).
Without breaking the bank, what should I order/install. The car has 55k original miles and is only driven during the summer on the streets. Any advice/input greatly appreciated!! |

A arm bushings are probably the primary issue Not super easy, but Ian did a really good video

Poly graphite will work, but is actually not as good as the rubber. |
