I think I remember my isolators being pretty screwed up... might have to get those as well. While im in there ill probably go ahead and replace the outer tie rods and upper/lower ball joints... I dont think the inner tie rods get beat up to much so those should be ok.

Not the ball joint. Not the control arm bushings. Everything is torqued down, and triple checked.
I found that the top of the new shock is tapping the top of the fender well! I think the shock mount on that side is bad, letting the shaft push up too far. Passenger side mount is new (it tore coming apart) and it doesn't do that.
Going to go pick up the new mount
Inner tie rod end is bad on the driver side, I get movement wiggling the wheel at 9-3 and the tie rod visibly moves. How hard is it to replace inner tie rod ends?
