I have a 72 and a 74 and I want to swap the front suspension on them. One is stock while the other has new bushings, turbo tie rods, shocks,rotors, etc. Naturally the rusty one has all the good stuff! First, can this be done and if so can I do it without taking it apart piece by piece? What kind of order should I do this project in? Any pitfalls to lookout for? Thanks all!

Pretty easy...it'll come out in one big assembly....
Rough instructions: Remove nut on top of shocks, Remove bolt from the universal joint in drivers compartment for the steering linkage. Remove gas tank to remove the U-clamp on steering shaft. Loosen brake lines to calipers, Remove the 4 bolts that hold the front of the a-arms to car, Remove the 4 larger bolts that hold the steering rack to the car... Gravity should do the rest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good time to inspect/replace the mastercylinder I'm sure I forgot something, but you get the general idea. Mike Mueller |
