Ok, so this is whutzup. 'went to the junkyard at 4:20. Found a '94 Eagle Summit wagon which is the same thing as the Expo LRV, but front-wheel drive and 1.6L pathetic 16v SOHC. With a 19, 17, 14, 10mm wrench, some vice grips, a pry bar and a BFH... I walked out an hour later with these...



So now I have the bump-steer-free front knuckles that let me orient the tie rods correctly. The bearings are pressed-in, and the 4-lug and 5-lug hubs just happen to be the same size as the '92 AWD Eclipse. I gotta replace them anyway so... Win!

I had to pay $75 for them because they charged me $27 for the front half-shaft that I couldn't get loose before leaving. The long axle I got loose after this pic was snapped.

There's someone that used to make a camber plate for a Mirage, and if I can find that, I'll buy it as long as it isn't still $300. I might use a pair of these things from Summit for the upper perches welded into a plate with studs so I can just bolt the whole upper mount in with full adjustability. These are $185.



I'm doin' eBay coilovers with summit 7" 300# springs and AGX adjustable struts. Since I have the factory rear dimensions, I can just buy a whole spring/strut/coilover combo for a 1g AWD Eclipse and save money. But today I just got a wild hair up my ass and conquered the acquisition of the most odd-ball part.
