9 Sept 2016 - suspension - passenger side

Continued with removing the passenger side suspension components.  I was able to loosen the strut rod, tie rod, sway bar, lower control arm and upper control arm.  I also was able to loosen the brake line flex hose from the spindle assembly to the frame.  I then seperated the components and put them aside.

The upper control arm has a 4 bolt ball joint.  The shaft assembly barely moved

The lower control arm has a 3 bolt ball joint.  The rubber/metal bushing assembly of the lower control arm was being pushed out of the pivot point.  The spring perch mount was in bad shape.  The rubber bushing on one side was completely crushed and in pieces.

The strut rod assembly looked ok but needs to be replaced.  The rubber bushings have dry rotted, just like the other rubber pieces of the suspension.

The coil spring looked ok, but will get replaced.  The coil spring insulator actually looked the best of all the rubber pieces of the suspension.

The spindle assembly looks pretty rough.  I am considering taking it apart completely and replace all of the hardware.( all brake components, wheel bearings...)
