I cleaned off the 30 years of grime from the front suspension parts. Here's pics. My plan is to put a rust inhibitor compound on the torsion bar, suspension arm and other exposed metal parts. Then I thought I would paint the torsion bar, suspension arm and tie rod a satin black, but leave the sway bar links in original metal. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but fellow members have given me good advice and ideas so far.

You are definitely overthinking it. I'm sure there are more important things on your car that need attention. Parts like this don't erode away, so treat them like they came (whether that's paint or metal treatment) and move on. Focus Daniel son. There are more important things in this old girl.

The car has been up on jacks lately while working on wheels so I Thomas ght I would take the opportunity to clean the underside well. Small section at a time, almost done. |
