Front End Woes

The other day I ran out of gas. Tom came and rescued me and drove me home. As he turned me into the driveway he felt a clunk from my front end. After parking he wiggled my front wheels and felt more clunking. He asked Ariel's mom to wiggle the right front while he stared at the suspension joints. As she tugged he saw a lot of play at the upper control arm bushings. So I'm coming off the road to have my front end rebuilt. He also promised to get around to swapping my gas tank while the front end's apart. Not really the next project he wanted to do, but it’s still car work.
