I am getting ready to replace my stock shocks with Koni Yellow adjustable shocks all around, do most of you find it necessary to also replace the Front Ball joints at the same time?? Is there anything else I should consider repairing or replacing while I am doing this.
Also, I auto-crossed my 73-1.7 this weekend and on the first run my stock stabilizer bar broke off at the U-Tab bracket on the A-Arm. I am going to replace the Stabilizer bar with a 22mm Weltmeister Anti-Sway Bar in its place. Do you guys find it better to just weld the stock U-Tab back on, or should I just grind them off and put the bolt on tabs supplied by Welteister. Any suggestions please..... Lou |

Lou, Dave Hunt on this BBS just a few months ago made his own tool to remove the castle nut. He took a large sized socket of the correct diameter and marked wheret he notches had to be, then cut out the nothces to make the tool to fit the nut. Ingenious if you ask me. Search for the thread or for DNHunt.
