The project began as a master cylinder replacement, then while I had the gas tank out I thought I would put a sway bar in, then while I was doing the sway bar I should do the A-arm bushings, then I should alss install turbo tie rods, then new ball joints, new rotors, new struts - did I miss anything? The only thing I can think of is the wheel bearings? Will I notice a dramatic difference, or after not driving the car for 10 weeks, will it seem to be the same?

I wouldn't worry about bearings if they were good to begin with. Keep them adjusted correctly and they will last you a long time.
I would have added Koni sports but $$$$$ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) and Balance the tires. |

If you're replacing the front rotors on the stock four-lug front brakes, you need new bearings. The front rotors and front hubs are the same part--so you are more or less taking the bearings apart when you pull the front rotors off. You can pound out the bearings and races from the old hubs, and pound them into the new ones... But why not use new bearings when you're pretty much doing 80% of the work involved in replacing them anyway?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) front bearings are cheap, no reason NOT to replace them... other than that, sounds like you hit all the bases... nothing left really... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) only thing you mentioned that's not on my list is the A-arm bushings... |
