It is kinda interesting to try to put something back together that you took apart two years ago in a different configuration with only the service manual to go by. Finding things is a bugger because we have shifted the stuff to different locations.
Anyway, I am putting the front suspension together now. The car was originally drums in front and I am converting it to discs. I believe we pulled the discs off a dart in '09, maybe.
I don't seem to have 2 things. The first is the 2 bolts that attach the steering knuckle( I would call it a stub axle) to the knuckle arm. I seem to have a quantity of these bolt/nuts.
They are 3 inches long. They seem to be the right diameter.I need 2 per side. Will they be too long to use ?
The second is the bolt for the idler arm to the K-frame. I can only find one bolt that is long enough..it doesn't have the hole for a cotter pin. From what I can tell the arm attaches to the k-frame without washers or anything else.
Again, any input is appreciated.
