Some help with the front suspension for all
If it’s allowed, then I’ll also put the rear suspension and Torque specs on.😉👍🏻

Finally got the front suspension installed :rolleye:
It went fairly smooth…😅 just the little bolt for the powerstering cable was a challenge to put back on!😖 and one of the Tyrollsport dead set bolts on the chassis…
I think I have a new record spending time in the garage! Got started friday afternoon about 3 pm and finished saturday afternoon at about 2pm :doh:
It was a satisfying job😅 the “old” suspension disassembly went smoothly, only one bolt from the end links didn’t want to go… so a little persuasion was needed 😎👊🏻
The assembly of the new parts went easy just the two bolts as mentioned early gave me a struggle…
Then Torqued all the nuts and bolts back on which were a number😅
So here are a couple of before and after shots…

And a fairly weight save…😎 comparing the “old” versus the new suspension…
Before : all cast iron, after : all alu parts👍🏻 Only the H&R stabilazer bar is thicker 😅
Now the suspension needs to be settled so I can adjust the ride height.
The to do list is getting to it’s end :jumpmove:
Next up… Brakes😎
