Front Shocks Installed Today
Created on 2006-12-16 20:25:47
Will I got the front shocks in this afternoon, most of the job was easy enough, however the Fulcrum bolts were removed after about a can of penetrating fluid and pounding with a hammer finally got them out said in the manual to tap out must have been using a bigger hammer (plus I'm sure 34+ years of wear and tear did not help.
What a difference before new shocks car bounced 2-3 times now not even one. I could not take out for a drive as it was cold and raining out, can't wait until tomorrow to see how it drives now.
I also replaced bushings with polyurethane bushings on the fulcrum and sway bar.
Next weekend if my new tie rod ends get here going to replace along with the wishbone bushings along with the rack seal. Forgot pictures had to take these with tyres on
