Title: Think we should start a new thread for suspension repair?
Post by: M.steward77 on October 10, 2015, 05:41:25 pm

Just did my upper ball joints today, and the first one was a real pain, took more than a couple hours just to figure everything out and go to the store to get different pullers and presses. Would have loved a step by step with pictures, and i know thats a lot to ask, but with ball joints(upper and lower) people probably want to change themselves cause dealerships charge a bunch, same with tie rods, sway bar links, bushings and other misc suspension and handling parts. So just thought id ask if people want to have a new thread started?

Sounds like a great idea.

I just had the entire suspension and steering rack out of a Syncro. Upgraded most of it to Powerflex bushings and 4 wheel disc brakes.

I'll try to post a few photos and more info when I have a little more Tim!
