Working On My Front End Suspension

I recently noticed that my front tires were showing wear on the outer edge on both tires in the front, The tires were new not anymore they are showing metal as well so they are pretty much shot. Anyways I got under the Aspen and was trying to see how many grease fittings that this vehicle has and not sure if I found them all are not, Anyways I referred to the Chilton Repair Manual and still could not figure out how many grease fittings are on this front suspension. Anyways I am thinking about replacing the Tie Rods, Rotors, Brake Calipers, Brake Pads, Upper and lower ball joints and so on, Looks like my seals are pretty much either dry rotted and or cracked because when I tried to



put grease in the fittings obviously the grease went every where. I am unsure what caused the alignment to get out of wack so bad but with the tires like they are something caused it, Maybe the Alignment ruined the tires or maybe something else did on the suspension itself but to be honest I do not have a clue. Can someone tell me how many seals are on this Suspension?? I have been trying to find a complete diagram that would be helpful to me showing the entire front end suspension seals and with pictures. I figure since the grease fitting seals need replaced I might as well replace everything else why I am under there. Thank You

AS long as the car is structurally in good shape.... A front in overhaul can be good on an old car. You can buy parts with lube fitting so you can lube them when you service the car. You can spray the bushings also when you service the car.
Keep us posted...
