* new tie-rods still available as 76 TORO ---replace them
* all 73 control arms - bad- check them and rebuild
* replace bushings with silicon grease from plumbing area of hardware store
* offset bushings - rear ear - arrow away from ctrl arm
* 73-early74 - rebuild front end
* ball joint - top nut snug - put in 5/16 bolt to locate - grill other hole
3/8 ang bolt, tighten top and 3/8, drill rest of holes.,and torque all with
thread lock.
* use old pins and washers , on upper bushings
One owner had broken ctrl arm at alignment, repair used car ctrl arms, so
now has to par to get it done again --sucks
STARTING ISSUES

neutral start safety switch - why it will let you down on the road
where it is and how to jump it
combiners - apc cables - etc
more later - finger tired (whine)
