Lots of grease....then they went together fairly better. I ran out of time this weekend so I'll be revisiting these in a couple of weeks so I can get the trailing arm bushings installed. Also have new spring pads to go in. Also have to remove broken bolt on shock mount. Also have to repair/replace headliner where the seat ripped it when trying to store seat back for the night.
Last night I replaced the engine shocks/mounts/motor mounts/ tranny mount. Tonight the idler arm repair.
You have to love these old cars by the way they respond to new parts. Mine handles better after each wrenching session
I still have a bunch of front end parts waiting for the next time. I have to line up a spring compressor and a ball joint press.
Parts is parts
Again Thanks for the advice.
