Getting tuned up an running smooth again
I know a lot of maintenance was done 4 years ago by the previous owners a month before purchase. I really wish I had the list because I don't have $300+ to spare on replacing my spider at the moment. Will definitely be noting all that I find and be posting scan results- 76elky

yep, better design with open access to the swaybar endlink bolts, much beefier but they changed the key size and orientation. Also changed shock type and has slightly smaller diameter ball joint shafts- 76elky
