Some more cleaned bits of the front suspension. Notice the stub axle on the upper right. It apparently got so hot that it turned black and shows tracks as if it was throwing welding sparks. Obviously, will be replaced. All the rubber bushes have been removed and discarded. I am trying to decide if they should be replaced with polyurethane rather than rubber. They are stiffer and last longer and will give sharper handling but also give a harsher ride. Second photo shows the recoated front sway bar and torsion bars. Then the two front hubs; the right front grease was hard as wood. Maybe a result of the overheated stub axle? Or the cause?
