Suspension System
Intro
Im in charge of the suspension system. It consists of:
- Front
- Shock Absorbers
- Springs
- Control Arms
- Steering Knuckle and Spindle
- Sway bar link
- Sway bar
- Front Crossmember
- Ball Joint
- Rear
- Strut bars
- Pan hard
- Shock Absorbers
- Springs
- Rear Axle (used to attach rear suspension components)
The Suspension system is in fairly good shape, once we got it all taken apart and removed all of the parts from the car we noticed it was all in really good shape. Some of the parts have a rubbery coating to protect from stone chipping, which we will have to remove before sand blasting them. A lot of the main parts only have surface rust with minimal metal loss.
Work that needs to be done
We need to continue to disassemble the rest of the smaller components. Then we need to clean up and sandblast every part that we aren't going to be replacing. We also need to remove the bushings from the control arms and strut arms before sandblasting them. We will then repaint all the parts and re-assemble them, like putting new bushings and ball joints in. Then rebuild both the front and rear assemblies and re-instal them on the body of the car.
Parts that need to be replaced
- All 4 Shock absorbers - $615 USD (set of 4)
- All 4 Springs - $315 USD (set of 4)
- All Bushings - $295 USD (full set)
- All Ball joints - $90 USD (upper and lower)
- Sway Bar Links - $50 USD (Right and left)
