I bought a 92 240 hatchback about half a year ago. I knew that this car was a drift car and was abused stupid crazy when I got it. The low ball joints were torn and flimsy, I couldn't even get a proper alignment becuz supposedly, something was wrong with my camber and control arms. I recently replaced my inner tie rods, and rack and pinion boots. I know I need some low ball joints and rack and pinion bushings. Can somebody tell me what else I should replace completely to make sure that this car is no longer crippled? It's been beaten very bad and I want to make the best outta her. Any input will be very much appreciated by both me and my car!

Go ahead and replace the lower control arms,that way you take care of the ball joints and the bushings at the same time.(It's a lot easier too!)Check your struts and strut mounts also.
