Front Suspension Rebuild Issues
Hello FABO - I recently put front disc brakes on my 66 Barracuda. In the process, I replaced the front strut rod bushings(new), idler arm (new), lower and upper control arms(used), tie rod ends(new). It is a mixture of new and used parts. Prior to the replacement the car was drivable, but when I hit a bump it move across the road. Now that I've replaced it, the car is barely drivable! The left side tie rod is screwed all the way out, and the right side is screwed all the way in. I took it to a mechanic and he says that the angle on the steering parts is to high, and that they need to be lowered. I can't quite figure out how to get this front end together. Any recommendations would be appreciated. These are preliminary pics. I will snap some more.
