Alrighty! Got all my parts back from the shop.. New bushings and joints installed...

Album Updated: 420SEL Front End Rebuild - Imgur

I've got the driver's side partially done. I need to order new bolts and nuts for the bearing support bracket. I was only able to get one bolt/nut pair to thread successfully. I ended up breaking one of the nut clip things. So an order will need to be placed, no big deal.

I also ran into a problem with re-attaching the spindle to the lower control arm at the ball joint.. My ball joints do not have a spot for an allen key to keep the joint from rotating.....



Any advice?
