sway bar links are used up. strut doesnt look like its a leaker but they look like they have some miles on em. trailing arm looks a little tweaked. brake pads look used up and the parking brake cable is close to breaking

All the suspension has 14 years and almost 216,000 miles of Minnesota salt and snow on it lol

Then yes. Overhaul. Will feel like a new car once everything is replaced.

your sway bar is 1/2 broken and the end links are toast. lca's look rusty, but you need to check the bushings, tire off look at them, the arm will push down, and you can see just how torn up they are or not.
the rear looks pretty rusty as well, but if its all tight, id leave it till it needs to be changed.
rotors look like they were sitting out side for years on end in a back yard lol new brakes could be done as well if the pads are low get at em, if not you could let them slide for a while tho.

Upgrade to a BMW and plan on upgrading your pocket book to pay out on the maintenance.

Lol left outside... i have a pic of the bushing in question in another topic on here.
And the sway bar being that thing that looks all bent up?
Yeah but that's why itd be a summer car. Hopefully reduce wear you know?

Kolton...Minnesota winters breed warm weather potholes....lol.

Indeed. Off to Tucson i go ;D

yes the bar the ties into the lca's via the end links, it looks like a curling bar at the gym lol
any way you can just get a dorman solid sway bar, it comes with all new hardware, end links, caps bolts and bushings.
at the parts store they can be as much as 120. but if you shop on line you can find them for 80 and up.

God bless all you Yankee basstards. Screw that climate.
10-08-2012
Don't they "come with maintenance" plans now?
10-08-2012
As long as you buy one within 10 years i think.
10-08-2012
I'll bet that sway bar is really broken at the bushings and that trailing arm looks a little bent
