Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

How bad is this MN suspension?

sway bar links are used up. strut doesnt look like its a leaker but they look like they have some miles on em. trailing arm looks a little tweaked. brake pads look used up and the parking brake cable is close to breaking
 
your sway bar is 1/2 broken and the end links are toast. lca's look rusty, but you need to check the bushings, tire off look at them, the arm will push down, and you can see just how torn up they are or not.

the rear looks pretty rusty as well, but if its all tight, id leave it till it needs to be changed.

rotors look like they were sitting out side for years on end in a back yard lol new brakes could be done as well if the pads are low get at em, if not you could let them slide for a while tho.

yes the bar the ties into the lca's via the end links, it looks like a curling bar at the gym lol

any way you can just get a dorman solid sway bar, it comes with all new hardware, end links, caps bolts and bushings.

at the parts store they can be as much as 120. but if you shop on line you can find them for 80 and up.
