Re: More progress
happy wife happy life, at least that's what I've been told. guess i never figured it out since I've two ex wives.
are you going to put power steering on it since you're replacing the suspension ? looks like you are doing it right by replacing all the worn out front end stuff. keep the pics coming.

Re: More progress
More progress on the Burban Suspension upgrade
A full afternoon of fighting rust grime and abuse the Control Arms are disassembled and soaking in POR15 Degreaser On trying to feel optimistic but the outer threads look toasted and not much threads left Unless they typically look that way, if they are done, no sense pulling the ball joints out |

Re: More progress
I've always thought the same about those threads when I've seen them. It always seemed like a lot of torque on barely there threads. But I've never stripped any of the 3 sets I've done. You could clean them up and replace the bushings and bar before painting and removing the ball joints. That way your not wasting your time if they strip.
Maybe post a picture of them and we can post our thoughts on them.

Re: More progress
Thanx for all the support, I followed most of the tips and the new ball joints are in. The uppers fought me all morning the lowers out and then in. The backyard hack in me bought the Harbor Freight set worked like a charm
