I had help with
putting the front suspension back on the car. My son Chris and even
my wife Barb came out to help on the project. I made my own spring
compressor using a 3/8” threaded rod, 2 blocks of 1” pieces of wood,
and several large washers. I put the rod through the top shock mount
hole and put the blocks under the lower front control arm. The front
of the A arm was connected to the spindle and all I had to do was
tighten the nut up on the lower A arm to raise the back of the arm
into place. Since the car frame had no engine the spring was not
that tightly compressed and slipped right into place in less then
twenty minutes on each side. All of the suspension parts have been
replaced with poly urethane bushing front and rear. |
