For some reason the Bushings of the Currie lowers blew out. As in: They squeezed themselves out of the retaining washers. I'm not sure what happened, but it may have been because of them binding. Dave at northridge and Dave at Currie quickly helped me out, and sent me new bushings.


I think this new problem I'm having was because one of the snap rings may not have been fully seated. But since I'm nowhere near a vise or anything, I'm going to have to put in the stock control arms (good thing I left them at my girlfriends in Rhode Island).

I'll have to deal with the curries again in the spring. THis is my first day off in 4 weeks!
