Just pulled my front suspenion today. Going to clean up the body above and around the steering and suspension and replace bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings, etc.... The books say to look for rust or wear on these bars. Is this too much? Or can I just re-install these the opposite way from the wear. Not going to flip them front to back, but will SPIN them so the wear is facing up.

Whenever Im tearing into a frt. end I inspect for this specific wear on the T-bars.
If there is considerable wear/cut into the bars I dont re-use them. The twisting force, corrosion & cut worn into the bars from rubbing *can* cause them to snap. Not saying they will, just it has been known to happen. |
