Dirty D - 73 Duster Street/Strip Build

With the front subframe out of the car, the suspension was a little easier to manhandle and take apart. I ended up using none of it except for the k-member, spindles, and rotors. I was able to source rebuilt lower front control arms and rebuilt front calipers locally from a member. Upper control arms and tension rods are QA1. New MOOG joints all around. Had the front rotors turned and I repacked them with new Timken bearings.

Reinforced the lower control arms and beefed up the K-member a bit. Cant believe how bad the factory welds were... Also modified the K-member for Schumacher /6 to small block motor mounts.

Did u keep stock lower rubber bushings in lower control arms? Also did you tighten everything with the weight of car or up on lift? I ask cuz I'm getting ready to put my dart sport front end together. Thank you!
