Front End Assembly…Well Mostly
Today I got the front suspension back together.I started by cleaning and re-greasing each of the torsion bars. Then I carefully lined up and slid the torsion bars, one at a time into the lower axle beam tube. Once the torsion bar assembly was installed, it was time to move onto installing the trailing arms onto the torsion system. They slid into the new urethane bushings quite tightly and I have heard nothing but great reviews about these type of bushings. I torqued the nuts and screws to specs. I then installed the new knuckles and spindles for the disc brakes. I installed the coil over shocks, and called it a day when I realized I didn’t purchase the new wheel bearings for the rotors. I called Nancy at Bugformance of Stockton, and she said she would overnight them to me. All in all, a good days work.
