    adjustable strut rods?

    Has anyone used adjustable strut rods? I see ESPO has some for 140 a pair which is a lot less than I have seen elsewhere. Thinking this might help solve my problems.... I am guess they also allow you to tweak alignment after it's all together if needed also right?

    Verify Torque specs...

    My FSM shows 145 ft lbs torque for the lower control arm pins is this correct? Seems kind of high. Also, I cannot find a torque for the upper control arm cam bolt nuts anywhere, is there a recommended spec or should I just go with standard for a 1/2" bolt?

    Welding on control arm brackets

    Been a few years but I need to do some mig welding on my control arm brackets where they hold the bushings. Do I simply need to disconnect the battery for this? Was thinking it would be good to go then.

    Upper control arm help please, I've got a mess....

    Been tearing into my suspension and found someone hacked together some things which is not a surprise I guess considering all the other crap I've been dealing with.... So on the drivers side it looks like the bushing was loose so they pressed on a sleeve to hold it in place. Is this common...

    I'm replacing the steering box in my car and decided to also replace the shoes and seal on the steering pot. In the kit came this little bitty pin, where the heck does that go? I don't see it in the service manual etc. Do you need it? Looks like it must retain something? Does anyone ever...

    Lower Control Arm Poly Bushings?

    I've been looking for lower control arm poly bushings and the only company I can find that makes them is Prothane, I'd like to us PST or Energy Suspension but looks like a bust for lowers. Has anyone found any other than Prothane, and if you have used the Prothane how have they turned out? Thanks,
