About 20 miles of hard driving to heat cycle new tires. Kumho Ectsa XS in 205/50/15 on all four wheels, on an old set of 15x7 Momos. Wheel/tire combo weighs 37lbs. All-season tires weigh 37 in the front (195/60/14, 14x6) and 40 in the rear (215/60/14, 14x7). Tires are 5% shorter than all-seasons, will adjust odo at fillup. I put the all-seasons back on for now.

Got a head start on the bushing set. Installed the front sway bar bushings, which solved the creaking problem when going over speedbumps.

Everything went back together easily and quickly. Ball joints fixed my clunk problem. New alternator belt also fixed my squeak problem. Car is driving great now.

Replaced rear ball joints but stripped a nut on the subframe when reassembling. Found a new subframe locally from a 1993 Japanese turbo half-cut. Included revised tie rods and larger 19mm sway bar. While the subframe is out, I also am replacing the alternator belt and brushes.
