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 |

If you are taking off the ball joints then pop out the little cotterpin, soak the big nut in PB Blaster. Hit it a few times to let the oil settle in. Then use a large drift to loosen the nut.
If you are taking off the tie rods then its about the same except use some heat too. Geoff |
