Changing Out Front Bushings

Well, it's time. When I had the front of the car up a couple weeks ago to change out the gearbox i noticed that a washer tab on an a-frame pin didn't engage in its slot anymore. Take a look at the bushings I replaced from the sway bar, i bet that's how the rest of 'em are too. yikes. I have a set of poly bushings, now it's just a matter of me bucking up the $90 for the new pins and washers, etc.

Why does it seem like I always decide to do a project on a Thursday when I know that the stuff can't get here by the weekend? Oh well, it's supposed to be 74 with a chance of rain on Saturday anyways...
