'91 fr ball joint different from '86!

["Graydon D. Stuckey" <graydon@apollo.gmi.edu>]

Guys,

	I tried to install the right lower control arm on my '86 5KCSTQ 
yesterday.  I got the control arm and the lower subframe from a '91 
200TQ.  Turns out that the '91 ball joint has a 19mm diameter lug that 
slides up into the hub, whereas the '86 has an 18mm ball joint lug :-(  
Argh.  Oh well, words of warning to those of you that drive early 5KCSTQs 
- You can't use '91 200 control arms.

	I also filled in all of my subframe bushings with epoxy, and the 
rear motor mount bushings with rubber.  I'll let you know if it improves 
the feel of the car at all.

	Sure wish I could get ahold of a stiffer sway bar since I hvae 
this one off the car. It would be alot easier to replace that 
now than later.  I have the 26mm bar currently.

Later,
