I am getting ready to replace my stock shocks with Koni Yellow adjustable shocks all around, do most of you find it necessary to also replace the Front Ball joints at the same time?? Is there anything else I should consider repairing or replacing while I am doing this.
Also, I auto-crossed my 73-1.7 this weekend and on the first run my stock stabilizer bar broke off at the U-Tab bracket on the A-Arm. I am going to replace the Stabilizer bar with a 22mm Weltmeister Anti-Sway Bar in its place. Do you guys find it better to just weld the stock U-Tab back on, or should I just grind them off and put the bolt on tabs supplied by Welteister. Any suggestions please..... Lou |

I would like to add turbo tie rods, but for now I am trying to keep my vehicle in CS Class for Autocrossing this year, and I was under the understanding that since my Sway Bar was standard equipment upgrading that was OK and that I could upgrade the shocks also, I am not sure if I upgrade the Tie Rods that I can stay in CS Class.
My biggest question was whether I needed to order the splined tool that Pelican sells to remove the Nut that holds the balljoint in place or if people use some thing thats cheaper without damaging it. |
