Front suspension build

Hey guys,

Does anybody have a drawing or picture of the exploded view of the front suspension? In particular, the arrangement of the parts on the steering knuckle/spindle.

Want to make sure I put all the parts back together in the right order!

Thanks!

That's pretty close, looking for more detail around the spindle and related parts though. Just to see how those 4 (or so) major parts go together. Dummy me, being impatient, just pulled all the parts off to start the cleanup and didn't pay enough attention to HOW I was taking them apart.

Thanks Willcox!

Already got one, thanks!

Just doesn't have the detail of the knuckle assembly like I'm looking for. Even bought the new CD from Willcox...

I had the same problem, AIM doesn't show the steering arm assembly in detail. Many of the vendors have good breakouts in their catalogs; that's what I used. But what about torque settings?

Here is the thread I posted that was very helpful to me:

Thanks redman! That will help a lot!

I didn't know that these were shipped to the plant as completed assemblies. I guess that makes sense as to why there are no detailed instructions on how to put them together!
