With the upright removed, we could see the dirty grease in the lower control arm ball joint.
After removing the boot, we cleaned up all of the old grease to expose the ball joint in excellent condition.
Next, we removed the swaybar end link.
The new end links were greatly needed when looking at the condition of the stock ones.
The same goes for the toe-links. The stock one (top) has seen much better days compared to the new toe-link with a fresh rubber boot (bottom).

I absolutely love the Viper project. Keep them coming!
Thank you for the comment. Glad to hear you are enjoying the project. Stay tuned!
Yooo finally a update, Viper Project got me woke on how based Vipers are.
They are badass big Miatas with torque.
Amazing how much new sway bar bushings and links can improve limit handling and on center feel. Especially on old cars that get driven hard!
Absolutely!
Is NanoPro MT Marine Grease safe to use on rubber? I’m not the best with grease chemistry, but my understanding is if it’s petroleum based, you shouldn’t be using it on rubber.
Great article and a good reminder to people that time take its toll on cars, even if they’re hardly driven.
Yes it is perfectly safe to use on rubber.
I love these posts on the viper, it helps a lot first time owners like myself. Thanks
