The bearings just fell out of the bushing when I pulled them out.
I noticed you had the now NLA blue mounts in there. I replaced them with greens. I've still got a pop when I turn the wheels left to right so I'm going to replace the ball joints and control arm bushings. I guess I'll need to find some later style control arms and sway bar. Fun mister!

May have something to do with the H&R springs too. Always had little
noises after they were installed. They're pretty short. Have you tried a stethescope to pinpoint the noise or is that possible.

I was going to just replace it all while I was in there.

Here's a better picture for you John. Waddaya think of the euros?

I like them. The later 4k's I put in there were ok, but not much light..
I hated the original quads. I'm sure glad it went to a good home. Had a lot to do with me finally letting it go. Hows it doing otherwise? You'all driving it much?

Adding relays helps that dim light problem.
I had the same problem on the Zermatt 4k...then I built a harness and relayed each beam. As Chris can attest, it was borderline criminal how much light I had.
I still need to build on for the '83.
