Front suspension....

Hi Folks, hope you all had a nice weekend.  Today I continued the installation of suspension parts on the drivers side, got stalled for a few minutes trying to figure out how to proceed with the shock absorbers.  The new shocks have a different type of spacer so had to remove them from the old ones and install them in place of the new ones. I think I'll just let the pictures tell todays story.



Went shopping for new wheel bearings today but couldn't find them locally so stalled on the assembly till we can get the wheel bearings.  

Looks a bit different than the passenger side


Cleaned and painted the heat shield, looks better with a little paint and it seals it up.


The heat shields and reservoir bottles for the brakes and clutch are now installed.

Well that's it for today,

Cheers,
Lynn

  1. Nice! How did you clean and prep the heat shield? That's a hard one to do.

  2. Hi Drew,
    I didn't take an after picture of the heat shield but it came out pretty good using brake cleaner then gently washing with Dawn. Then I painted it with silver engine paint. Overkill for sure since no one will ever see it but ....
    Cheers,
    Lynn
