Front suspension continued.....

Hi Folks,

A long day on the drivers side front suspension,  Removed the old bushings and pressed in the new ones.  New upper and lower ball joints then on to installing the lower control arm and torsion bar.


New lower ball joint, had to cut off the old bolts and tapped the holes to take full advantage of the full thickness.

Fitting the lower control arm with the torsion bar setting bar, had to fit and refit the TB to get the bolts to line up on the TB adjuster plate.

Lower control arm with the TB in place and both bolts/nuts in place on the TB adjuster plate (only had one when it arrived here) and now the heat shield back in place underneath.

Well folks, that's it for this week, hope to finish up the front suspension next week.  The right side may be just a touch easier as the exhaust isn't in the way as it was/is on the left side.  Have a great weekend ya'll!

Cheers,
Lynn

  1. Looks really good, Lynn. Wish I was there to learn your secrets of setting the torsion bars. I don't have a setting bar and have done it by using a yard stick. This doesn't really do the trick.
