The end result! Front suspension/springs/shocks and 3rd arm, steering tie rods installed!
The old tie rod ends
The old tie rods
The new tie rods getting ready to be installed
Installing the front stabilizer links
Installing the Third Arm
Don't ask. ; )
You'd think the 3rd Arm would be simple...4 bolts. Turns out, the bottom of each threaded hole had been very badly rusted inside. We had to run a tap through them to clean them out.
Installing the shocks
Installing the front drums & bearings
Installing the original backing plates to the spindles
Installing the springs
All strapped down and ready to go
Given no body on the chassis, we used a hammer drill to install some anchors & eyelets, so we could hold down the chassis to install the springs.
