have I missed anything

2-3 years ago I replace all the linkages on the steering, the gearbox, I didn't replace the adjuster sleaves, didn't see any reason to. I had the ball joints replaced at a shop right before this (2-3 weeks or so)

Last winter I replaced the strut mounts and struts.

I have a set of bushings from spohn ready to be installed.

I will be putting subframes in "spohn" in about 3 weeks. And probably a TSD wonder bar.

I can't swing the springs right now, but I beleive the orginal owner replaced them with some after market ones 90k ago.

Is there any thing else I should consider for the front. I will be going for the rear parts later.

Sounds like you have everything covered, I would just check for any slop and thats about it.

thanks, trying to make the old girl feel like new again. The car has 183k (mostly highway, I have put the 83k on it in the last 5 years) on it I am not going to let the car keep going down hill, college unfortantlly has been killing my budget. LOL but when I get out hey I should be able to do a complete resto on it.
