First let me say thanks to everyone who posted replies to my inane
situation with the ball joints.  I was successful in getting all the
parts of the front.  No I'm in the process of cleaning up the wishbone
(removing surface rust and repainting).  I have a couple of questions
for the group.

1.  Urethane vs. rubber bushings.  Do the urethane bushings make that
much of a difference?

2.  KONI shocks.  There is a 3/8" plate on top of the KONI shock on the
driver's side but not on the passenger side.  Is this to accommodate the
drivers weight?  Or should there be a plate on the passenger side as
well?  All the manuals I have don't show any plates on top of the shock
for either side.

THANKS AGAIN for all the helpful info!
