Hey man I get it. All the little stuff happened to mine at once and I threw away a couple thousand bucks. But now I've had some good miles and no issues. And my point with this many miles on it you might as well keep it till it's in operable

Tires arrived yesterday and will get mounted and balanced Monday after I have a chance to install new struts and tie rods on the front this weekend. Went with Nitto 421q tires this time around

Yeah, those Toyo Proxes only lasted me 30k or so. I'm sure I could MAYBE get another 10k out of them but just not worth it especially with winter in just a few months. They definitely didn't last as long as I'd hoped they would. These are rated at 75k miles tires, though, so these should be on for quite a while I loved the tread pattern on those Toyos and they handled well in all weather but due to the durability factor I wouldn't buy them again.

Got sent this pic last night from a buddy at the shop where the burb is being fixed at! I was blown away. They are already almost done!! even have interior cleaned up from the stupid tow truck driver who dumped all the crap off the road into my back seat area

Will have it back early next week

Haven't had 420s for years now. Those were some good tires, though

Spohn arms and panhard bar installed today. Also got my AC working again. Hopefully it stays fixed this time

Tomorrow I'm doing my front struts and tierods in the garage. Then Monday tires and alignment happen

what's the verdict on the Spohn control arms---noticeable difference from stock?

 

[PG01]

Whoa..... he just put them on.... let him drive it first....

 

[07Burb]

LOL! yeah I've only driven them maybe 20 miles so far and that was on the hwy so let me give it some time

 

[08HoeCD]

Sounds like no difference.

I replaced my factory rear control arms with billet arms on a Crown Vic years ago. The difference was immediate and very noticeable.

 

[07Burb]

Sounds like no difference.

Lol I just don't drive my burb like a race car but I can tell that the rear wheels are more centered which is one of the points of the mod. If I'd also gotten a beefed sway bar it'd also make a big difference but a big girl like a burb is always going to have a certain level of body roll. By the end of day tomorrow I'll have new struts on the front and at that point my suspension will all be new and should be a huge improvement over how it was just a couple weeks ago when this effort started.

Make sure they are adjusted perfect so your rear end doesn't dog track.
