And the front A-arm cap. I did not get the correct new bolts, so have to order those. (Please stop my OCD!)


No OCD....you definitely need new shiny azz bolts if you've gone this far. Nice

I also got and installed the circular retaining clips for the tunnel brake line grommets. Not exactly a tight fit.


I had the same issue. I think the rubber grommets are not made correctly (too small) but it could be that the clips are too big as well. There hope that helped. Ha

A couple of weeks ago, before installing the wiring harness, I added a switch (from CarMagic) for a new washer pump to the steering column sub-harness.

I had also ordered a plug connector so the switch can detach from the harness if I ever need to pull the column control stalk module. Here is the connector installed.


I think I'm the only devotee of the crazy spare tire washer system but I do like this mod. This is the way to do it. Nice work.

Still amazed at the speed you work. You get more done in two days than I do in a month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

With recent parts delivery, I got back to the shift lever. That started with greasing the ball end of the lever and the nylon bushings.

The springs for the sliding plate turned out to be a PIA. Getting the first one in place took about 30 minutes.

For the second spring, here's how I got in place. First I inserted the pin about 1/2 inch.

Even with the experience with the first spring, it still took about 5 minutes of fussing to tuck the other end inside the bracket, push it down, and insert the rod all the way.

I had more time, so I went back to the new parts box, and got the tie rod ends.

That inspired me to get the left strut. I had to do a little clean up from some "extra" powder coating.
