     Subject: Any other parts to replace when putting in shocks in '86 
     Coupe GT
     
     I'm about to replace the shocks.  I'm going to put in new CV boots at 
     this time.  Are there any other components I should be replacing which 
     are difficult to reach which would be easy to do at this time?  With 
     an 8 1/2 year old car, I'd like to proactively deal with future 
     problems but of course, I don't want to waste $$$$.   Thanks!

     As long as you are taking it apart, replacing the control arm bushings 
     will do a lot to tighten up the front end.  Turn your steering wheel 
     to full lock either (both) ways and accellerate from a dead stop.  Do 
     your CV joints clickety click?
