Okay so it took me awhile but I finally got my rear droplink bushings pressed into the droplinks. Now I'm trying to get the droplinks attached to the car. Does anyone have a magical way of making this happen? '76 model year if it matters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Thanks guys. |

A "squeeze to tighten" bar clamp. Use a jack to move one trailing arm or the other upward to get the ball on the arm lined up with the socket in the drop-link.
I've also used a C-clamp, but it was hard to keep lined up correctly while tightening the clamp. --DD |
