Well I just got her back on the road after a few weeks. I was going into withdrawls not being able to drive her.
I had alot of work done on the front end and she feels like a different car. I guess I got used to the worn front end parts. She feels nice and tight now.
I was surprised to find that she had the original? rivited upper ball joints.

Did you perform the work yourself? I've got to replace the bushings in the front swaybar. Not sure if I can do this myself or not...

Upper balljoints don't carry the weight of the car (like the lowers do) With nothing to carry, they have a very long lifespan with a reasonable amount of Tender Loving Grease ... explaining your rivets.

No I have a trusted mechanic that performed this work. This was too extensive for my limited tools, limited experience, and lack of free time.
