If the traction is low, run a diff up front with 30k or 50k oil. Also quite often we use one shore softer tires up front than in the rear, helps to gain steering and even out tire wear during finals....

Based on the old times, THE one thing to watch out with Mission is the pivot ball screws that fix wheel hubs to the lower arms. They don't break very easily, but boy, did they like to bend, when you...

In reality you only need to change the fronts - the rears will last forever, even with the original black blades. Fronts get way more abuse due to the spool.
