hey guys, i've been trying to figure out all the problems with my 240's front suspension. Anytime I drive around/over 55mph there is excessive shimmy and vibrations coming from the front suspension. The car tracks to the right and there is a lot of play in the wheel. There are several "klunks" when I turn or sometimes when i come to a stop. I've jacked the car up to take a look but I'm not that familiar with suspension components - especially without a diagram of the suspension layout. I know the TC rod bushings are busted and it appears the swar bar endlinks are bent and warped - not to mention most of the bushings are practically destroyed. Basically if someone has an online diagram of the 240sx front suspension layout and maybe a list of common problems it would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing most of the work myself and I want to do it the right way the first time. thanks!

clunks might also just be loose bolts. check the TC rod bolts, when mine were loose, the front end clanked everytime i turned the wheel and stopped
