But I’m not sure what.

Magic invisible struts yo.

Yep, got the front struts out today. Now I’m just waiting for my springs to get here either tomorrow or the next day. I’m getting excited and impatient.

In the mean time, the GMC got its first oil change since 2008... I had to scrap the old valvoline sticker off the windshield with a razor blade since it was basically baked on. It just got the cheapest conventional 5W-30 CarQuest had but it’s better than nothing. Happy little 4.3 right now.

I was only slightly hogging lifts today :)

how are your rubber spring seats/strut top mounts?

Basically brand new. They were replaced when the struts were last year because they looked turrible.

How about your front control arms? (ball joint/rear bushing on it)?

BMWs (and German cars in general) use lug bolts instead.

They do (I think), but the struts are barely over a year old

Oh ok. I didn’t realize you were only changing the springs and not the strut.

Found out the other day while installing wheel locks on my Dart that Dodge used lugbolts

Soon you will have fully restored this thing and end up changing your mind about selling it!
