    Shocks were rebuilt by Jeff LeBlond in PHX. The new bushings and washers came from T Rutlands. The Aarms were rebuilt by Dave Helms of Scuderia Rampante.

    The steel bushings and washers are very expensive, about $170 per set and there are 8 total for the rear. The best thing you can do is keep them clean and lubed. I found mine to be pretty much bone dry which led to premature wear and corrosion. The stuff is really good quality and should probably last a couple of hundred thousand miles but need to be maintained.

    Those front upper control arm bushes are a bit tricky to get into place. I cut a dowel stick same length as assembled bush and about same diameter as the bolt. This allow the assembly to stay together until you get it in place and then dowel gets pushed out by the bolt. Easy and "Very Expensive" tool.

    Good trick! I found assembly was easier if I had some beer.

    Pretty big learning curve! Second side was easier than the first but certainly not easy by any definition.

    PS, sent you a PM.
