looking for a little advice.
Just removed my front suspension because everything is at least 38 years old. I believe it's mostly from a 76 911 including the sway bar. Also S calipers, 5 lug and struts. I want to get a good look at the rack and install Turbo Tie Rods and already have new Koni strut inserts installed. Not sure if I want to tackle the bushings and ball joints myself since I don't have the right tools and equipment. Any suggestions? Is it a good Idea to keep this set up and refresh it? Any recommended places for the work? Corona, Anaheim CA area. Thanks  |

Clean that whole bit up & paint it some distinctive color relative to under pan color.
At least replace the rear A-arm bushings, there's videos on how to do it without expensive tools. The rear bushings collapse somewhat as most of the weight of the car rests on those rear bushings and once deformed let the torsion bar rub inside the metal tube causing corrosion and eventual stress corrosion fracture. |
