Excellent. Maybe I'll see my tire wear problem eliminated
since I replaced all my stabilizer links w/bushings, too.

Aside: Yesterday I did my '91 Civic's trailing arm bushings
with my new, $139.95 tool in record time. Very easy with the
tool. Freeing a few of the five bolts that must be free to
do the trailing arm bushings this way is what took all the
time about a week ago.

I highly recommend the "Honda Acura Trailing Arm Bushing
Xtractor" tool. If it works perfectly on my rusted old
Civic, it will work on anyone's. The Ebay dealer who sold it
to me shipped it within a day. It arrived early.

I was wondering about that comment of yours re it's 'easy...
two bolts' for the upper arms.

Further updates on this car are always welcome. I want to
take my Civic to at least 250k miles.
