A Start on the Front Suspension

Joe (the champion) was back on Sunday and completly stripped the front suspension, save the front springs (need a spring compressor).

His front shocks from the HT Monaro will be a straight replacement, bonus!

All ball joints were removed. Joe pressed out the bushes from the first upper control arm and pressed in new ones.

A couple of glitches...

• At one stage a towie has hooked around the front cross member and has crushed the brake line. That will need replacing.
• The sway bar link bolts are ~ 3 cm too long. Need to get onto the supplier for replacements.

So, to move forward:

• get spring compressor
• remove lower control arms
• press out lower control arm bushes
• get replacement sway bar links
• bolt it all together again!
