Any words of wisdom before I start my front end rebuild?

Yeah the torsion bars made me nervous too. But come to find out they're extremely easy to pull out and put back in. And likely that lower control arm bushing is a major culprit in your bad suspension. It's the one that everything rides on. The way I did it was just get the Moog upper and lower bushings and then just cheap tie rod ends and cheap ball joints. Again that's just the way I did. it I'm not saying it's better than any other way. But there's one thing I didn't want to deal with pressing in and pressing out those bushings again. I took this opportunity to spend the $99 on a cheap Harbor Freight 12-ton press. I called the shop and they told me $250 if I brought all the parts in and they just pressed them in and press them out. They said $50 each for the uppers and$75 each for the lowers? Actually I think it was 350 they wanted. Either way that was too much for what could be done in a half hour with a cheap Harbor Freight 12 ton press.
