Sieg, leave this one to me as well, mine worked pretty well. :lol:

My cables from Control Cables Inc arrived today. Nice looking pieces and fast turnaround time for a custom spec'd item. (Ordered Thursday night) They won't be installed until I return from Thunderhill though.

Side note the new rear disc's, once properly biased they feel great. The rear disc's appear to not lock as easy as the drums and the chassis actually feels like it's pulling down a bit under hard braking vs transferring forward and locking. Maybe just my initial perception, but it feels like a 10%+ improvement with better pedal feel under hard braking.

Nice looking pieces.

Nice pieces Sieg. :thumbsup:

That was entertaining......I'm guessing the control arms had never been off since assembled. Rusted bushing bolts and pressed in upper cross shaft bolts can be a PITA with header interference.

The OTC tools are well built and worked great, at under $90 delivered via Amazon prime they were well worth it.

Global West bushings and offset cross-shafts are going in the control arms after refinishing, Pro Forged ball joints and tie rod ends (.5" taller outer ends and upper ball joints), and some used Hotchkis springs and hollow anti-roll bar will round out the upgrades.

Looking good Sieg.

Did you order the Proforged tall tie rod ends yet? I removed mine after installing the AFX spindles with about 500 miles on them. They're yours if you want them. PM me if you're interested.

Nice work Sieg, looks like your supervisor kept you in line all day.

BTW, do you suffer from the OCD affliction as well? :D

It's a curse, but it's a blessing as well sometimes. ;)

Tu,

Very much appreciate the offer but I've had all the Pro Forged pieces sitting on the shelf maturing for a year and a half now. :underchair:

OCD as in organized composition disorder? ...........Yes.

I wish someone would have video'd the supervisor as he was under the car and quite affectionate and vocal as if he was saying 'you've been under here most of the day, it's time to go inside!' :D

Is it done yet?

You know what goes a long ways on rusted stuff?? Some liquid wrench the night before....
