jeffp Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 The car is coming along nicely and is very close to put back on the ground. I have decided to take a little more time and complete the suspension package total upgrade. I ripped one of the sway bar straps on the left side. I am going to machine a bracket for that out of aluminum. I had to buy special order bolts in an allen head, but the 1.25 pitch thread is special order. One of the SIGNIFICANT things I am working on is the lower control arm bushings. I installed the derlin and aluminum insert adjustable bushings, but when I made the caster adjustable, and pulled the front wheels 6-6.5 drgrees forward, the lower control arm bushings went bad, to much force trying to pull the wheels that far forward. So the Derlin bushing install is out. I am installing 3.4" sphearical ball rod ends on the lower control arm. Good to go, but now I am going to have to get camber plates, as it is to difficult to make the lower control arm adjustable, and that will make a weaker part being adjustable. I contacted a company off my web page, dont remember who, but they say they have a generic camber plate that will fit my car. I will have to drill the holes to mount the plate to the shock tower, and maybe turn a shim for the shock to to fit right. The big thing is that I may have to take to the car with a hole saw to make the center hole bigger for the camber plate adjusters, and I am not all the keen on that aspect of the install. I am just going to have to put my eyeballs on the adjuster and see if I really fit on my car and my stock schock and spring setup. Most people go coil overs with that application, but I dont want to go that way with the car, maybe the back as a fun project someday. So that is what I have to finish up in the fabrication department, and the rest of the stuff is just bolt on for the most part. WHO KNOWS LOL I got to get it right or it will never hold a front end alignment well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
