Default Front Suspension rebuild almost done!

Pass side completly done, poly bushings total and new ball joints and shock. Upper drivers side arm done and lower arm is out, paint is drying. Tomorrow install poly busings and lower ball joint and begin to put the car back together. What a Job! THis is my first major work on any car and my first suspension work. Thanks everyone for the advice and the words of encouragement. I cant wait to go get an alignment and drive the car. The ball joints had about 1/8 of an inch play and the bushings were shot! Should be a different car to drive! -Thanks TK

Your car looks fantastic! Congrats on the front end work. It becomes addictive, after awhile.

Good luck with the rest.
