Update on front end problem from yesterday
I took a flashlight out and got to looking at the car closely and to my horror saw that the upper control arm bushings on both sides, front and back had backed out.
Had it towed (flat beded) to the shop and fixed. It beat up one of my headers a little and a little damage to the crome strip on the bottom of the car. Could have been much worse.
Time for some bolt tightening

Wow, you're lucky. Better check them all.
I replaced mine last year and promised myself I'd check 'em periodcally. I can't remember the torque specs for the uppers but I know the lowers are 55ftLB.
