Actually, yesterday... too tired, finally able to post...
Replaced the front upper control arms. Did the struts 3 weeks ago... they were bad... really bad. Not that bad of a job now, as tearing apart and reassembling the struts had already taken place. Just keep pulling, until the struts are out, then remove/replace the upper control arms.
Only issue was the right-front rear bolt... while fighting to get the threads started, the square bolt came out of the hole, on the outside of the strut tower... issue is, to deal with that, the battery has to come out (and took the tray out, for good measure, to clean it up). So if you're doing your upper control arms... be prepared to be removing your battery...!
Much, much nicer, and much, much smoother. That should be everything that can effect the geometry, might do an alignment tomorrow. Still a few little vibrations and wiggles, yet taking care of them, one ball-joint and bushing at atime...

My sunroof was moving slowly for the past couple weeks, so I cleaned and greased the track but that didn't help much. Sometimes it would get stuck and just click. Finally, today I decided to take out the motor and cleaned the contacts. Works like new now.

I replaced my Crankshaft Seal, both Cam Seals, VVT O-Ring, ECT Sensor and Coolant Temp Sensor
after I had previously changed my Water Pump, Timing Belt and T/Belt Tensioner.
I plan to change the PCV Unit next.

After 14yrs and 45k miles later i replaced my leaky Tein Coils. Three were leaking and one looked bent by the piston. I can't say enough how great these coilovers were all these years. The GS is still pushing with 96k miles. Next up is paint the front and rear bumpers.
