Third Gen Restoration - Front Suspension
| The front suspension will get a lot of new parts; struts, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. |
 The front a-arms were cleaned up and re-painted. I had to push in the new front bushings with a large vise, so some braces were tacked in to prevent the mounts from crushing. |
 The springs will need to be compressed about an inch to get them back in. Use an internal compressor like this one. |
 The front springs need to be indexed, so it's important to position the compressor just right so it can be removed once the spring is installed. |
 Once the spring is installed a jack is used to raise the LCA so the ball joint can be bolted. |
 Now the compressor can be removed. |
 The driver side with the new spring and strut installed. |
 The passenger side with the new spring and strut installed. |
 For the first time in three years, the front wheels can be mounted. |
