another member for the milano sun roof club and milano suspension questions

[PeteLaurel@domain.elided]

Yet another member wishing not to join (as Groucho Marx so eloquently put) 
the club. When I got the Milano the fabric at the rear of the sun roof was 
unattached from the sun roof assembly. I glued it back on, but I didn't know 
what to do with that deflector shield. Anybody know how much slack there 
should be? 

I may be asking the wrong question as the trouble is that when I retract the 
sun roof the deflector shield sticks. So I tap it in while retracting the 
roof. I hope the Rockwell folks did not design this maneuver in ...

Other questions about my suspension.

I think the PO used curbs to slow the car down as the rims show several 
divits, one front tire had a huge bubble from hitting a curb, and the front 
end was out of whack. I had the front end aligned and replaced the tire about 
5k miles ago.

Now I've noticed that the other tire has major wear on the inside. Not sure 
if this happened prior to the front end alignment or after, but I rotated the 
tires to see if the condition returns. When doing this I noticed the leading 
arms (sorry I don't know the proper terms) bushing at the body is worn. I 
have been wanting to lower the car, and I am thinking I should refurb the 
front end at the same time.

My question, what suspension work do other Milano owners recommend? The car 
has about 73k miles on it. I was thinking those bushings, front torsion bars, 
rear springs and anti-sway bar. The shocks seem fine.

Any opinions appreciated.
