Well one blew but the other one won't. I'm probably just going to do what you did.

You can't get it out of the garage without brakes? Just push it.

Why does it need to come out of the garage before you're done putting brakes on it anyways? Tell them to suck a nut or help you finish the brakes?

Why aren't you done with the brakes?

You need to get some with the ends that work with your wheels.. I know my Mickey Thompsons need acorn style lug's. Just make sure you get the right kind.

So the trans am can go back in. Don't have all the parts and I'd rather fix barney instead.

I think that the lower control arm bushings are bad, but the mechanic told him that everything in the front end was shot this same mechanic also told him that it doesn't have control arms that the control arm i was pointing at was a stabilizer.

What do you guys think?
bump, does this sound right?

Whole front end moving- track bar. Stock bushings are also probably bad but my answer is track bar.
