I honestly don't remember too well, I replaced them about 5 or 6 years ago. I don't think I had too much of a problem other than getting the diff bushings in. Those were a PITA.

Wait, are you talking about reinstalling the upper arms onto the car or putting the bushings in the arm?

I didn't have too many problems with installing the bushings. I used sockets and a vise. When I tried to use the press on the rear lower arms I bent one of the arms. So I bent it back and then had it x-ray'd for cracks haha.

+1 to the diff bushings. I did those a couple years ago i used Noltec rear diff bushings.

Reinstalling them the bushings are in as you can see from the pic

. I'll have to take a pic of what i'm talking about. I was hopping everything would just slide back in place so far that is not the case. Everything seems to fit tighter then a glove.

I don't remember having too much trouble getting the bushings into the suspension pieces, other than the Diff of course. The only problem with that was making sure the other side didn't pop out when you get one side in.

I like where this thread is going!

Got my new brackets for my splitter the old ones set it to far forward. Also got a toe hook that is off by like 1/2 inch so i need to bend that and get it re-powder coated. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to Adam (afgmoto1978 on the other boards) for all the support with making, testing, and building this monstrosity.

All the suspension linage is back in except for my sway bar links. Apparently Improved Racing got a bad batch of spacers for their links. I didn't even get 10ft.lbs on them before this happened. After contacting them they are sending me new spacers at no charge and stood behind their product 100%. Can't say anything bad about that.

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-14-2011, 11:22 AM

Splitter looks really nice.... you're giving me ideas for my belly pan... I like it.. thanks

Let me know if you need more pics of the brackets.

Force13b · 03-23-2011, 12:43 PM

Tow hook mock up. It was off by about a half inch so i had to heat it up and beat it like a red headed step child. Now just needs to be re pouder coated.

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-23-2011, 12:53 PM

Cool shit Tyler. No need fofr more bracketry pics, that one gave me plenty of ideas. So listen, are you going to drive down to Palm Springs or am I going to have to beat you like a red headed step child, tie you up like a 5'0 100lb blonde, throw you in the back of your FD like a pedobear victim and drive you down here yourself?
