Well, I did the test according to the FSM on the modulator valve, and it is fine. I opened it up and the filter elements inside were filthy, so I replaced them.

Re: Hello from Mass....and a front end question

Well, got all the sway bar link bushings, washers, etc on order. I also ordered a pair of front struts as the ones in the car are dead. I'll definately take a look at the ball joints, may need replacing too.
