in prep for the new bushings i found it easier to just pull the whole thing than fight the old bushings while removing the a-arms. more on what i found later.

thanks. a labor of love. i've put about 150 shake down miles on with the elephants. anything would have been an improvement over the old pieces of crap that passed for bushings. the whole front end was fighting itself. the bushings work great!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) . i think the car feels more supple, but not soft. roads that were tooth rattlers are still BAD road surfaces, but the suspention seems to dampen the bad jolts. i think the combo- correct tierod angularity, bumpster kit, and bushings- compliments each other.
yes, i intend to do the elephant rear control arm bushings also. while i'm in there i might as well do the rear axel bearings. might as well paint the control arms. while the car is in the air, continue mar-hyding and painting the rear portion of the pan, paint and install a rear valance. do the painted dash face i didn't get to. oh man.... here we go again!!! damn, i'd like to paint the car after the new engine goes in. i'll save a bunch of dough if i do the disassembly and reassembly. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif) the more things change, the more they remain the same. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) k ps. while i was doing the front end... well, it's apart, there's no better time to change those stock front torsion bars for 21mm units. i kill myself!!
