What's wrong with this picture?

when you get into the steering and suspension
USA top balljoints work
USA bushings and bumpstops all work
Check the strut rods for the legth of thread and if they have the split pin or nylock nut and buy the appropriate year US bushings
US track rod ends work
US lower ball joints don't work you need Austrlian Lowers OR you need to cut the track rod sleeves down half an inch, to cater for the different angle of balljoint levers this may induce more bump steer. it all goes together if you don't but alignment will be impossible
You will need austrlian small sector shaft pitman arm
you can probably use a USA idler
You are on a cross over year i'd expect 1 year only disk brake rotors on an aluminium hub with 4.5 inch PCD and kelsey hayse style pin slider 1 pot calipers.
but you may have 4 inch pcd and you may have left hand and right hand threaded wheel studs.
the stub axles will have the small taper for the upper joint and the small taper on the stub axle for the inner bearing

if its a 770 trim level car it will have power steering.

Dave,

There was an Oz-sourced suspension and steering rebuild kit in the trunk (I forget the brand name, but it's not a "known" brand here in the States), and Bazza's intentions were to do all of the work this summer.

But Fate has other plans for him right now.....

Anyway, I'm right in the midst of doing this work, and one of the good people here has offered to do the LCA work for me/Bazza, as it's beyond my skill level. Hopefully I'll be able to complete the front end rebuild without running into too many issues (fingers crossed).

Not sure I'll need to do the brakes, as they work (no leaks!), the rotors have only a light coating of rust and aren't grooved, and they should clean-up nicely with a 3M disc.

As for the Regal 770 trim level, apparently PS wasn't automatically included, as not only does this car not have it, it has a weird idler pulley arrangement where the PS pump would normally reside. I don't have any pictures of this (yet), as I just recently managed to piece together that bit if the engine, but imagine putting a jigsaw puzzle together without having a picture to guide you.....

According to the Vehicle Body Identification Tag, this car has the following options:

A70: Regal 770
A78: Roof Extension ("Mexicana") Package
H51: Air Conditioning
T14: 185 SR14 Tyres

And that's it. Power steering would have been option code S77, but sadly that's missing from this car.

Thank you for all of the info! Hopefully I won't need it, but I've done a Copy & Paste into a Word doc just in case.

Jim
