Which is something I need to do at some point as the entire car still has all of it original ball joints and bushings. So Ill be following along with the subframe tear down to take notes, lol.

So true, that and a good tire choice are a game changer for a first-generation Camaro. Nothing against tubular control arms (an excellent product) but, I acquired most of my stock-ish frontend goodies way back on post #120. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...&postcount=120

Ha, I’ll try and not Sister Mary this too bad! Class,,, class,,, thank you!




Let the tear down begin. Popped all the tie rods and pitman arm loose and then dropped the steering complete. We will reuse the subframe itself, the center link, steering arms, and possibly the coil springs (they were replaced at some point and sat tall during earlier mockup sessions).

I'm not a fan of how I removed the springs, the freebie Autozone tool rentals (yeah, 2 of them) did the job. This particular tool didn't fit the smaller inner diameter of the Camaro coils very well, hence the sandwich approach. I’m positive it’ll scratch the crap out of everything and be a battle trying this method again. So yes, reassembly will go differently more on that later.
