Okay, sorry for not updating this thread.

I replaced the bushings with the one piece type, and now Myrtle behaves just fine. It was a pretty easy job, but I did bring the track bar to a shop for them to press the old sleeves out.

The reason I haven't been on for a while is because our trip has taken a turn. One of our funding sources dried up so we had to make a 180 and head back to the States. We'll be here for 6 or 7 months to save up some dough before we head down South again in the fall. This time we're going to bypass the Baja and cross directly into mainland Mexico.

Glad the repair went well!

Sorry to hear about funding, but from reading the blog it seems as though you've already visited some great places! $300 a month for an apartment... unheard of!

Best wishes in your future travels!
