Did not read all of this so I can't say for sure if anyone mentioned it, but y'all should wear good gloves when using impact tools, any hand tools really I suppose, but an impact wrench can be brutal. Padded ones, likes for weightlifting or cycling.

I have some I got from Harbor Freight for a sawbuck that are not bad, will come in handy for when I do the suspension bushings. Thinking I ought to go ahead and do new ball joints and tie rods at the same time. It has about 90 k on it, most of those in anger, some bordering on enraged, imagine wear items are getting worn out. Miata has the upper ball joint pressed into the control arm, so you have to replace the upper arm, which is less than $40 because, Miata.
