I mean the nutz on the lower A-arms? I'm buying and impact so I need buy a socket big enough for them BIG NUTZ. Now that I have my work bench set up in my garage I'm going to tear apart those suburban A-arms and get them ready for sandblasting.

1 and 1/8, I think. The uppers are the same. I just finished my frontend rebuild last night. If no one confirms the socket size, I'll try to remember to confirm it tonight by looking at the socket I bought. If you don't get an answer, email me. I forget stuff.

I just checked the socket I bought, and it is a 1 1/8.

Thanks Slonaker.
I've bought a 14 piece set of impact sockets and an industrial 240 ft/lbs of torque impact!!! ![]() |

The nuts are the least of your worries...
![]() I was lucky. My neighbor used to own a frontend shop, and offered to do them for me at his old shop. He said that a good quality impact hammer is essential, though. Slonaker |

The bushings have not been a problem so far. Well I did break one drill bit.
![]() Think I may get some help in installing the new bushings? Looks like I'll need a press or a good vice. ![]() |

I went with moog bushings. Mine is a daily driver, so I wanted it to ride smootha and be quiet.
I have not heard of drilling and tapping them for zerk fittings. I didn't do it. Maybe that is to help keep the polyurethane bushings from squeaking? Slonaker |
