72 Duster Resurrection
Making progress.
Old drag link
Cleaned and painted sway bar
Old vs new tie rod ends and sleeves
Disk spindles with new lower ball joints attached. I got tired of cleaning and painting at this point, its just going in the car as is.
New pitman arm installed
New idler arm installed. I screwed this up by not putting the washers in between the stationary steel sleeve of the idler bushing and the tabs on the frame when I torqued it down. That deformed the frame tabs so I need to take it apart and smack it back in with the washers in the right spots. Not fun.
New shocks installed.
Spindles and drag link installed.
I still need to:
-finished torquing everything
-install rotors (w/new bearings)
-install calipers
-connect, fill, and bleed brakes
-wheels/tires
Closer every day.
