Somewhat hard for everyday knickknacks but easy for bigger expensive items such
as a car lift. I ordered a Mohawk 2 post lift for my garage a few weeks ago.
100% made in the USA. Hugely expensive but I don’t care.

I do, it’s really an alignment rack but I am also looking for a 2 post lift. I

FLoyd,
Struts, strut mounts, and likely the front LCA need to be replaced. If
Wilton's parts are in your shed, they may work. In theory you can replace
the bishings in the LCAs, but from a practical standpoint, most just buy
new LCAs. I have 2 sets of W124 LCAs in need of bushings, but they
Not too dire, just replace it or the axle with one from a junker or a
new one. Can't be that hard. I'd be all over that if it was nearby but
being in vermint one would have to look out for rust.

Sounds about right. Check the steering idler arm bushing for play. Check
steering damper too. Unfortunately the steering gear box may be the culprit,
which looks like a real pain to rebuild that.

Agreed. Are distributor caps still unobtainium or stupid expensive if you can
find them?

I have a friend who does lead remediation and lead inspection, and is
certified to do those things. Some time ago, in discussion with him, he
stated the best way to contain lead paint, if it is still bonded to the
underlying surface was to simply paint over it with latex paint, which
seals the lead
