So I'm close to pulling most of the front suspension off for replacement. Anyone have a list of the socket sizes I'll need? I'd rather not spend the night comparing sizes to everything, so just wondering if anyone knows any of them.
Looking for:
lower control arm pivot nut size
lower ball joint to knuckle size
bump stop nuts size
idler arm mounting nuts size
strut nuts size(front and rear)
tie-rod end nuts size
pitman arm nut size(1 5/16 I think)
torsion adjuster bolt size
and anything else I'm forgetting.
I'll basically be undoing the torsion adjuster, unbolting the strut rod from the arm and kmember, pulling out the torsion bar, removing the lower ball joint from the knuckle, removing the lca from the knuckle, removing the tie rod ends from the drag link, unbolting the uca, removing the shocks, removing the pitman arm, and then putting it all back together with a qa1 tubular uca, qa1 lca, new lower ball joint, new strut rods, new tie rods, new torsion bars, new tie rods and a new idler arm and torsion adjuster bolts and eccentric bolts.
This is on my 70 plymouth duster, automatic, 198 slant six (225 stock)
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not at home and I don't have a car to drive most days so I have to be selective about getting the right sockets/tools for the job.
