Got the new bushing into the LCA with new PST greaseable pivot shaft and torsion bar adjuster: Here is a comparison of the stock V8 torsion bar against the new PST 1.03" Getting things buttoned back up with the new balljoints, control arm bushings, and Mancini Racing strut rod: Also...

Hopefully I have better luck with the Moog components I'm using. Out of the box they appear very well made, but you never know these days. Also glad to hear you had a good experience with the PST torsion bars. Seems like they've had good reviews on here but sometimes tough to tell as ride...

Rebuilding the lower control arms and welding up the stiffening plates.... Any recommendations on sway bars? I've seen a few different styles used. Some require weld on tabs for the LCA like the factory, others appear to be bolt on.

Next I pulled out the 73 upper control arms and spindles that I had picked up a few years back and cleaned them up for the rebuild (note I forgot to get a pic of the uppers). This will also convert my front end from small to big bolt pattern. In terms of the front suspension I came up with the...
