Project D.D. 1991 EE4

New Wagonist
So I just got this about a week ago, its a 1991 Rt4wd. It has 218k and runs great! It also has power windows, Clifford alarm, CAI, tinted windows. I bought it and it was slammed to where the mudflaps would drag when cornering. Heres what it looked like.
When I bought it the owner had the power steering unhooked and just sitting there because it "got better mpg's" lol. I hooked it up and it worked perfectly!
I was on a mission to get some parts so I contacted member Shenrie one here and a couple local Idaho forums. He told me he had some parts I could check out so I headed over! He lives only a couple miles away from me so it worked out well. I came up on a few things
First car I ever wanted to Lift up to stock height immediately after buying it haha. So i put the OEM suspension on..
I also got a new windshield because the old one had a few cracks
Then on tuesday I was driving down the road and when I hit 55 mph my rear passenger wheel started to violently shake!! I pulled into Goodyear tire and had them throw it on the lift and see what was going on. They showed me that the bushings in the rear were about shot, the trailing arm bushing was definitely shot and needed replaced. They also told me the tires on it were starting to "separate". So i went and got new Moog trailing arm bushings. I also picked up a set of Lca's from Chaos, a local forum member, that had Energy Suspension Bushings already installed in them.
So lastnight I changed the rear passenger trailing arm bushing... Pain in the Arse! Put on the "new" lca also. Took so long for me to do the one side by myself I had no motivation to do the other. Went for a test drive.... Still shakes at 55. Talked to a different person who I had just told my issue and he said "It sounds like your tire is separating to me" which it sounds like is what is happening. Im rockin the 13" studless snow tires (that were made 7 years ago) until i paint my blades and get new tires. Looks like im buying tires earlier than expected! That should be the next update. Let me know what you guys think
