Blue needed a little TLC in the suspension department - but one shock and some control arms later, Blue is fit as a fiddle. I have new photos I'll try and get transferred to my gallery tonight or tomorrow. . .

That's surprising. When I sold Blue to you, the shocks had 8,000 miles on them. I got them from a kid in the Valley who swapped them out for Konis. His S was a garage queen.

There have been some rough drives, and it was only one shock, not all three. When my guy was pulling that out, we saw extreme wear on the control arm bushings, which may be expected with that many miles. Went ahead and replaced all 4 upper arms.
