Well....
Everything went fairley good....Except:
The Upper Ball Joint on the Drivers side fought back bad!
What you DON'T see is the 7 foot Steel Pipe on the end of the 3/4 Drive Breaker Bar!

I got to this post on this thread and I stopped. This car will never steer with the calipers on the front with a 72 and older stabilizer bar. The caliper will hit the bar. When ever you do one of these swaps rule of thum is 72 and older calipers go to the rear with the use of a Volari Aspen Brake hoses. Good luck guys looks like you all are having another fun day. I vote no help at all. Steve
