Stop in for a cup of coffee

Holy crap

out of commission, cant drive my dart anymore

That is scary, the thought of going fast on a front end that is far from meeting the standard.

If I can rebuild a front end then anyone can, I am the last person on the planet who should be able to do anything like that.
Perhaps, but it's one of those 'ya don't know what ya don't know' A lot of people won't jump into something without at least thinking they know every detail. Usually that's when you have the biggest problem. I did the entire front suspension on the Duster without KNOWING what I was doing (OK, I did the entire everything on the Duster without knowing...lol) Short of having a mentor standing by your side people need to get the FSM. It's in there. Study it. Start the job till you get stumped then come back and study some more. If ya still don't understand it - FABO rocks!
