Installed in the car, starting with the top, and then inserting the ball joint stud into the bottom of the strut.

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


Yup. Another hardware order going in this week.

I may end up driving this car only indoors.

I took care of one thing I forgot to do when prepping the left strut housing: cleaning the powder-coating from the caliper contact surfaces. I did that on the car with a wire brush in my drill.

Left bar going into the A-arm. It took a bit of tapping to get it seated in the front socket.

Will you document the indexing of the torsion bar when the time comes? I need to do that on the Willow car.

I only had 2 or maybe 3 positions (notches) to choose from when putting on the caps, and did what the manual describes: put the cap on with the lever arm as close to the top of the recess as possible. For now, I cranked the adjuster screws just slightly past making contact.

Going back to photos I took during disassembly, the tie rods had about 1/4 inch of threads exposed on both the yoke end and the ball joint end, so I set the new rods to be the same, and installed the ball joint stud into the steering arm. Still waiting on new bolts for the tie rod collars.
