SUSPENSION/STEERING

Inner and outer tie rods
connector rod for tie rods
Idler arm

upper and lower control arm bushings
upper and lower control bump stop

upper and lower ball joints
control arm mount hardware kit one for each side
shocks ( I used KYB gas adjust)
spindle gasket
power steering piston rebuild kit (piston was leaking)


BRAKES
rotors
pads
clapper rebuild kit
inner and outer bearings
bearing seal
brake hose to caliper

Of course it all depends on the condition of other components. Example: What kind of condition is your steering gear in. Should you replace the springs, rebuild/replace steering pump,

I would recommend purchasing quality parts and use sources like Ecklers, Corvette Mods, Corvette Central, Rock Auto, and Paragon is a great source and located in my home state of Michigan. You will probably use multiple sources based on parts availability. Also create accounts at any place you purchase from, its easier tracking and checking on parts, and request parts catalogs from each place.

Please keep me informed of your progress

This tool you might have to a grind a slight bevel on one of the u shaped tool to wedge it between the the tie rods and and relay rod. And the idler arm and relay rod.


I choose to sand blast my parts and paint them.
I hope this helps and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
