Hey guys, I'm installing Vogtland springs and KYB GR2s this weekend. My 1993 GS300 has 228,000miles, daily driver. The inner side of my front tires are wearing and I am hopeful that new struts, springs and an allignment should help. Anythign else I should do while I am in there? Bushings? Thanks!

I'll post pictures of the car after the 1.3" drop and a review of Vogtland springs next week.

 

you could do lots, but what do you need to do?

have you looked at upper and lower control arms/balljoints? wheel bearings? inner and outter tie rod ends? sway bar links and bushings?

 

all good questions, deknick. The parts you mention all look 'good' from my digging around; but, I haven't had the suspension apart ever and haven't really taken a close look. I am not looking to spend a ton of money... I just want to ensure I don't overlook something that I might as well do while I'm in there... like when you replace water pump, you might as well do timing belt. I have read that the lower control arm bushings tend to deteriorate early... anything else to look out for? I imagine I will know more once it is apart, just want to be prepared with parts.

 

wow how funny im going through the same thing i know i have to replace the front driver side strut as my car leans towards that one side but i think that and a 4 wheel alignment should do the trick
