hi all. getting ready to start rebuilding the sloppy front end on my 73 2.0. seems straight forward enough, so i figure it should only take 4 or 5 months to complete.
i am ordering lemfoerder turbo tie rods and ball joints, then a pair of rebuilt calipers from eric shea. what type of front shocks should i buy. kyb or bilstein? boge may be out of my budget. what are your thoughts. also what bushings, nuts, spacers or other little crap should i get in house to avoid the weeks of waiting in shipping hell for a bolt or pin i may have missed? this is a street car. no racing or auto cross. thanks in advance for all the dumbass questions this project will no doubt create (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

you drove it at 105 without doing the brakes and front end first? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I guess you can never have a passenger, because balls like that have to ride shotgun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
the front end is one day, 2 tops if an idiot like me can do it in a weekend, you'll be fine. then you can weld your longs or find someone who can... I was having trouble getting mine perfect, so I found a travelling welder on craigslist who was willing to do it for about $100 he normally welded gates and small stuff, but said he had a small mig just for projects like that. he also helped me find the settings I needed on my 110 welder to do the rest. |
