So i am on the final leg of my front end rebuild. Is there a sequence to install. Currently the front drop link sway bars are attached to the control arms. The following needs to be install.

1. Torsion bar end caps
2. Attach strut to the ball joint with the wedge bolt
3. Attach the top 3 hex bolts on the strut

I know its simple but i woud hate to do it 2x and have to knock out that wedge bolt or something

Thanks in advance.

Oh if you know any good threads to install/adjust the torsion bars it would appreciated. Sorry search is not my friend

No problem Mark, the hardest part was pressing the a-arm bushings back on and even that was not so bad with a HF press and a hot pot to warm the bushings up. I was lucky and bought some a-arms with the bushings removed already, so I didnt have to torch them off. Oh grinding the channel to fit the sway bar reinforcement bracket on the interior of the fuel tank opening was fun too, but if you have air tools its not a problem. I had to use my dremel and cut multiple slits. Cleaning is major chore without a blasting cabinet but I made due with a make shift cabinet out of a plastic bin. But yeah anytime you need a hand, just hollllerrr !!!

ok, next time I am in the garage I will snap a few pics, because people like pics, including myself
