Thank you very much for that info. I have a LOT of play both front (won't align properly)and rear. Hopefully the experienced shop that's gonna do the rear axle truly knows what they are doing. I'm also going to replace the lower rear links as the bushings seem to be shot. Once I get the front end taken down for the ball joint replacement I will inspect the lower control arm bushings. Hopefully they are still OK but I have a feeling they aren't.
