  Re: subframe bushings on the 126 chassis...I am working on converting  the PowerPoint presentation with notes/photos into Adobe Acrobat which  is being a bit uncooperative and converting only the notes and no  photos.  The PPT file is 20Mb.  I am assuming the Adobe pdf will be  substantially smaller when done.
  I could just mail you a cd-rom if you can provide an address off-line.   I'll include the PowerPoint viewer in the event you do not have this  program.

    Hi  Sam:
      
  How is the stance at the rear of the car? Is one side riding 
  higher/lower than the other as you look at each rear fender well? Take 
  a tape measure and check this if it's not visibly apparent. Then if you      
  find the rear is exhibiting the 'gansta lean' as it's called by this 
  group who have lowered their coupes, then I'd suspect that replacement 
  of the rear sub frame bushings and the differential mount may improve  or 
  eliminate the problem.
      
  If you go this route let me know as I have the steps and photos on 'how      
  to' along with the components and sizes for making the tool that you 
  will need. BTW: first timer, total job is under 2 hours.
      
  Regards,
      
  Dick
