Torqued, jounced, bounced, rolled and ready to pounce!!! Lol

so im getting ready to put her back down on the ground I have the shock bolts finger tight, same with the lower control arm shaft nuts and the front strut rod bolts. Just wanna make sure Im doing this right. Once down jounce it and torque all those down to specs?

So are the camber bolts supposed be turned equally meaning do I just not worry about it and drive it over to the alignment shop if it's close or is there a starting point that gets em close I painted everything so even if I made a merk it would be gone anyway.

Interesting maybe I'll do that run the stock wheels upfront with to get that stock offset and just get the size tires you have for the front. I'm getting rid of this 7 1/4 rearend I'm shorting a Ford 8.8 I got from the boneyard right now so it going to be interesting to see if that offset will...

Here's a few shots of the back the tires are real close to the leaf springs but no rub marks but I'm definitely checking tire pressure and clearance all the time. The back never rubs even with two people in the car it clears nicely even with very little air in the air shocks.

So they are 15 x 8 with 4.25 bs these are the set of 14's I have all four. Not sure how I would feel about running 15's in back and 14's up front. I'm gonna have to have that dented one swapped with a better rim off the back and fix the best one I guess. Any recomendations?

I double checked they are 4.25 B's and have 205 65 15 on them this is what came on the car so I replaced the back ones first I'm gonna double check the width of these rims too. I just noticed one has a nice little bend in it glad you posted. These always cleared no problem. But the front always...

Thanks a bunch. Much appreciated.

I have as big a tire as I can fit in the back Cooper cobra 275 60 15" the car had air shocks on it I really want those off there. I bought a set of the Mopar performance sport springs I believe. Thinking that would give me the clearance I need with regular shocks. I believe the off set is like...

I agree lesson learned. I was able to get my situation rectified boxed up and sent back there is a local parts store that actually had what I needed got everything lined up thread locked I got my torsion bars back in place just need get my brakes back together new bearings races seals. I really...

If you look back at the pictures I posted does the little round nub face towards the middle of the car also are the rubber boots squished under the bottom of the ball joint or out to the side like shown in the picture on on your car if so I have them flip flop. I thought I remember the rubber...

Thanks for the reply all really helpful info. I n looking more closely at alot of pictures of these castings it looks like some are machined some are just cast and left that way. Think I'm gonna try and take a flap wheel and get the powder coat off and just mark and grind the high spots and see...

thank you for clearing that up that was a really big part of figuring this out. when I move those bolts around they are pretty stiff compared to the old ones which are nice and smooth in regards to your question. As others have mentioned on various other posts on the subject you tear these front...
