RE: [T3] Suspension fixed was rotted needle bearings


You're doing a good job exploring this, much better than most do.

Organizing may be difficult.  There are those who want the best and longest
lasting materials regardless of difficulty (banks love us :) then there are
those who are just looking to get their car on the road as quickly and
inexpensively as possible (students are a good example).  So a compilation
of it all will do just fine! :)  heeheehee, not helping, am I?  But allowing
people options allows them to make the best choice for their situation.  I'd
hate to see someone decide to ignore or replace their front suspension with
a questionable junkyard one (and thus THROW AWAY their stock front) because
the parts are too expensive or far too difficult to install.  These people
would benefit with the simple/inexpensive fix -- heck, it'd be a temporary
measure for those who want to go the expensive route but just don't have the
money/time yet!  Those of us who have a second car and have the time and
money may want to go the expensive, long-lasting route because we can afford
(time & money) to do it 'right the first time'.

I hope this general direction will help.  Talking with those on this list
with machining/metallurgy/plastic experience can surely assist you as well.
You just give me the info and I'll proof-read, webify, and post it :)
