Hey all,
After finally getting back to the states I had a chance to start going through my To Do list for the teener. Well that list just got allot longer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) THe whole front end is shot and will need a bunch of work. Anyone willing to discuss options? Replace what's there or swap out the front end? Also any tips on dropping the front end? I figure that it's easier to work on the suspension when it's out from under the car. So 2 ball joints 2 tierod ends and struts at a minimum. Yikes Attached thumbnail(s) |

Looking from the theoretical top (or bottom) of the strut, the bottoms are identical units, but since the bolts go to the inside of the ball joint pin, one of them has to rotate 180 degrees (on the long axis of the strut). Ergo, one bolt head forward, one bolt head rearward.
Fortunately for Mike, and my neighbors, I am not a consumer adult beverages. Oh yeah (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif) Attached image(s) |
