I got to a point where I was no longer disassembling the front end and got to start reassembly. Oh yeah. First, I need to list the parts and stuff I bought to keep track of cost.
Ordered: Specialty lower control arm bolts & Tranny fluid gasket & filter – $46
Bought: New bolting hardware for ball joints, grease nipples, rubberized undercoating for wheel wells, black rustoleum paint, cotter pins, grease, coil boosters, linkage bolts kit – $74
(T.C. $8275)
So I taped off the car and gave it a thick coat of rubber undercoating. Then I got the itch and started to work on the ball joints, getting them nicely installed and pretty. It really brings up the look of the underside with it all being nice and black and clean now, instead of sorta blackish-blue. I don’t want to get into anything else before I finish one system, so I tried to find anything else that I could do in the meantime. Unfortunately, I couldn’t. So now I’m playing the waiting game.
In the bad news department, I gave a little play with the steering wheel, and I think the tightness I was feeling is somewhere in there, so I’ve got a little bit more work ahead. However, a friend of mine is swinging out tomorrow and he might be able to help me solve the mystery of the crappy ass steering.
