The Great Pumpkin - '71 Duster
1 step forward, 2 step re-do.
Way of the world......
Definitely the way of my world...
Managed to get it all out this AM. Control arm T-bar adjuster tab is definitely bent, looks worse now than when it was installed. The part of the tab that pivots inside the LCA was wedged up against the rear of the arm which was making the t-bar socket point towards the outside of the car instead of straight ahead. Lesson learned!
The torsion bar looked bent when it was still in but seems OK, guess it was just being loaded by the crooked socket. Need a new boot now, old one was torn.
Strut rod is beefy, not much chance of that being bent.
The 'new' arm is sitting in Evaporust, lot of wire-wheeling ahead. Pivot shaft as cleaned up, chased the threads and cut the old bushing shell off. Hope to get all this done quickly and get back on track.
