READY TO INSTALL THE FRONT SUSPENSION

                            

Now it's time to install the front suspension.  With the steering rack installed, care must be taken not to scratch the new paint.

We installed the front suspension by lifting it in place with the floor jack and tightening the four mounting bolts.  Next, break the connection between the king pin and the shock absorber.  This will allow the swivel axle assembly to be lowered exposing the spring pans.  Simply place the coil spring in the pans and raise the bottom pan with the floor jack., reconnect the king pin to the shock absorber and the front suspension is in place. 

 It is exciting to finally see the car begin to come together.  Having the car on it's wheels will tell us what size tires are required to achieve the desired ride height.

We will be installing the rear suspension soon.

Later,
