I've been collecting parts while preparing to overhaul my suspension. Everything arrived the weekend before last, but I postponed progress in order to checkout
Andy's supercharger install. In addition to heckling DanG, one of the things we did was to fill roll restrictors with 60A urethane from
McMaster Carr. Mine are below. Not too shabby! Duct tape FTW:
Last night, I started overhauling my front suspension. There has been a terrible clunk from the passenger side and the driver's side CV boot was leaking, so I decided I would go ahead and replace everything: struts, strut bearings, control arms, half shafts, and sway bar bushings.
Things were chugging right along: half shaft out, ball joint out, wheel knuckle off, strut assembly out, control arm... not coming out. The subframe bolt is just spinning in place b/c the nut detached from the frame.
At least I found a
couple of workarounds that I will attempt tomorrow.
Show and Tell: Exhibit A
Evidence for the passenger side clunk: broken strut mount from the BAT camber kit.
Show and Tell: Exhibit B
Which of these struts is not bad? Hint: which one still pushes out the piston?
