Ol John Lee's gettin a new front end.

[Sharps40]

Some better pics of putting the spring back in right so it don't slip or squeek.

Just gettin things in place. Lots of tension comeing so I use two jacks and make every effort to stay out from under the control arm and no fingers inside the spring once the tension on the spring is more than a smig.



Here the lower coil end is properly set in the groove in the lower control arm.



Just a whisker of upward tension to assure the top of the coil surrounds the tennon in the spring hat that fits between the conrtol arms....once this and the bottom are aligned, get clear and start jacking up the lower control arm. Check along the way to be sure they stay in their seats and expect to hear some popping and movement around as the spring comes under greater and greater tension.



Here the lower control arm is up and the jack is holding it. The spindle is back on the ball joint studs with a jack holding it. I am putting nuts on the ball joint shafts and getting ready to torque them into place so I can get the jacks out and stop worryin about something going BAM into the floor.



And here, the drivers side cleaned, and everything installed and torqued and greased. Just gotta go to the shop to get the Idler and Pitman arms installed and get an alignment.
