Got the front suspension back together. I discovered a cracked thrust pad last week and decided to go ahead and replace both sides. Given that I haven't had the front end apart since owning the car for these last two years, and given the shoddy workmanship I have found elsewhere, I though it would be prudent to give it a going over. Turned out that whoever did the Supplex (now SSL) suspension installation, left out the ride height adjustment spacers, so I had my local machine shop get out a pair for me. Happy to find that the kingpins look good and the fit in the hub bushings is fine. I'll make an appointment at the alignment shop tomorrow.
