I found some things that were better than expected, and a couple things that were a bit worse. The sway bar link isn’t broken. The dragging sound was the exhaust pipe rubbing on the axle. As a temporary repair, I replaced the missing donut with a couple zip ties until I get the parts. The bad part was when I jacked up the left front to switch out the badly worn tire with the much better spare. This was when I found a bit of rot under the jack point, same situation on the other side. The rocker panels and floorboards seem ok, but as you go under the car, there’s rot in the whole corner on both sides just behind the wheelwells. This isn’t turning out to be such a good car after all. I’ll probably end up getting my money back out of it and move on.
