Front suspension rebuild

[gchemist]

I plan on getting the front supension built this weekend. All new rubber and 1.5 coils will be installed. I'll add more pictures as I get the suspension rebuilt.



Motor pictures coming too.

you already have the coils bought?

i'll be doing this same thing in the next months but will be swapping my 1.5" coils for 2" coils to get a 5" drop in the front

I've had the coils and leafs for a while. I even have a C-notch kit too. I've been collecting parts for a while. Now that the new engine is almost ready to reinstall, all the parts are going to be installed.

are you doing this yourself? All my front end bushing are deteriating. thinking of trying it my self, but a good front end shop where I know a guy said they could do it on the side for 2-3 hundred. Did you buy a bushing kit somewhere? thanks bob

There is a good how-to, written by swervin, on 73-87.com. I did it a little differently, but it was very helpful.

I bought a front end bushing kit from pst. Took them to a shop. had them blasted and powdercoated, then I had a machine shop remove the old bushings and reinstall the new ones for about $100.

edit, add about $20 for doing the balljoints also.
