Here are some pics from my adventures tonight.
First I installed my strut brace
Then I pulled off the left axle, cleaned & inspected the CVjoints. They looked OK. Here are some Pics of the rightside first the bad,
Then the OK one.

I had my spring plate bottomed out the wrong way so I had to reindex.
Now its bottomed out the oppisite way (down) at 18 degrees (cars sloped 1 degree)
