When putting on the rear suspension, what is the best order to do it in?
Is it best to bolt on the front pivot point and then bolt that onto the car? Should I install the shocks at the same time, or install the arms and then the shocks? |

Nah, the tranny is much easier to install after the suspension, IMHO.
Once the trailing arms are in, you can install the azle shafts and stub axles as a unit, hand tighten the axle nuts and then install the transmission whenever. If the transmission is already in, it isn't much more difficult, but the clearance for putting the axles in is less. (Not impossible, just harder) Also, depending on the method one uses for Engine/tranny installs, you could use the rear wheels if the trailing arm is already installed. McMark had a good step by step, with or without the transmission being in the car. Good luck and get it aligned... |
