i know all about the ribs, got the right side off with persuasion, and noticed that it was bone dry. all that remained was a few rust stains and dried up lithium grease. its at the mechanic right now so ill call him and ask if i need to put the parts on order or if he has them readily available. i told him to leave the ridhe height be and not to touch the upper strut nut because i still have to finish adjusting the ride height and preloading the shocks. then i should be good to go. then its off to the alignment shop. how much does a 2 inch drop usualy throw off the toe?
