[Supras] A few issues....

[Jeff]

As far as I know the seals are the big issue on the rack - perhaps someone
on the list can reccomend a way to pre-lube the seals prior to installing so
the first high preassure blast doesn't crack them.

Can't help you with bushings - never changed mine (at 160K I probably should
though!)
