BillZ260 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I am going to begin working on the rear suspension now that I have the front end complete. I am putting tokico blues and MSA lowered springs as well as urethane bushings and cleaning/painting everything. Oh and a new rear dif mount. Do you all have any suggestions or hints as far as pulling the complete assembly or doing one thing before others? Can't wait to "dig in" Thanks!

auxilary Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 1. don't take out stub axles unless you absolutely have to and plan on changing your bearings while you're at it. 2. you don't need to disconnect and remove the spindles joining the struts to the a-arms. it can come out as one assembly on each side. 3. take out control arms/ strut assembly first, support the diff. with a jack where the front mount goes, because that crossmember has to come out, and then you can easily drop the differential with halfshafts still attached. 4. watch for brake fluid and also replace your brake lines while you're at it. as well as mustache bar bushings.

BillZ260 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Thanks AUX! Hopefully I will be getting started on this tomorrow. That is if I don't get carried away with my dash, my Phantom Series Guages are coming in today, they could be a distraction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
