Update - More Brakes and More Suspension
More progress made today. I installed new front brake calipers and pads, repacked the wheel bearings, and installed new sway bar end links with poly bushings.
As you can see in the "before" picture, the calipers and pads were in sad shape. The amazing thing is, other than some surface rust, the rotors are good. And, despite being packed with grimy black grease, the wheel bearings are spotless. In case anyone is doing a survey, I vote for doing disk brake work over drum brake work any day!
The sway bar end links were a mess. The "good one" turned out to be a piece of common all-thread. The "bad one" appears to have been original to the car. It was a grade-8 bolt, but it was rusted completely through and the bushings were so dry that they fell apart when I removed them from the bolt. The new Energy Suspension links and poly bushings should be a vast improvement.
I only have half a day to work on the car tomorrow. I'm going to try to get the rear differential freshened up with a new pinion seal, a new diff cover and gasket, and fresh gear oil. While I have it open, I'll count the teeth and calculate what gears it has. Considering it was a diesel, I'm betting it's geared pretty high. It's probably 2.56:1. If it's geared lower than that, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
