I just put my 73 3.0CS on the lift after about 11 years of storage/inactivity, just to change oil and inspect. To my surprise, the rear sway bar bushings (at bar ends) were gone...dry rotted completely away. Every thing else looked pretty good except the ball joint dust caps are cracked (completly torn on tie rod ends) with only 7k miles on them...well they are 15 years old!
