When I bought this car, it only had one of the two bolts holding in the forward drivers side a -arm attacment point (where it attaches to the body under the front trunk.)
I figured it was just due to the accident that had taken place at some point in the car's past, and during the repair the mount offset a little. Well, I was probably right, but not how I figured. Once I got a good look at everything, this is what I saw: (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3465/3402174275_62d39408f8.jpg) (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/3402979354_5ddb0daca4.jpg) As you can see the flange on the A-Arm right behind the mounting point is buggered. Inverted. And it is pushing against the bushing and holding the mount out of location. So. How do I fix it? even with a BFH I was not able to knock the mount off the bushing. I DO NOT want to drop the A-Arm. I just got everyhting put back together, and removing all of the front suspension is more then I can fathom right now. Other alternative is that I could just continue driving on one bolt, as the PO must have been doing. This car is just determined to stay home from Hershey. At least I got my brakes up and working.
