    Bolt Kit

    Anybody ever done a complete frame off rebuild and replaced all of the bolts on the frame / suspension? Just got my chassis back from powder coat and I'm either replacing everything or restoring what I can / want to. Looking for a bolt "kit" if available or at least a list of sizes if possible...

    Can I remove a lower A arm bolt without completely disassembling the suspension ?

    Sorry if I over explain my situation. I've been in the process of putting my front suspension back into the car. I already fully installed the drivers side, except for fully threading on the lower A arm nuts. I was doing the same on the passenger side and decided to start tightening the nuts...

    Driver or passenger side control arm?

    Please help... I’m putting my suspension back together and I don’t remember which upper control arm is the driver or passenger side? I ordered a set of umi uppers and they have a curve to them. I think the longer end goes to the front? Thanks! The picture is the driver side.

    Suspension & Brake Combos - What Works, What Doesn't?

    Going off a post made by Ace Burt, who mentioned that some of the aftermarket suspensions don't work well with aftermarket brake kits, I was wondering if I could get some feedback from you guys about experiences with suspensions and performance brake kits. What parts are needed to make them...

    Suspension recommendations for sporty regular/daily driver?

    Hi all. As you know, I'm still at the early/exploratory stages of building my wagon. The finished product will be substantially more powerful than it is currently, and I want a suspension to match. I don't plan on drag racing it, and most likely won't autocross it, although I might, and want a...

    Another 78 monte question about front lower A-arm bushings

    When installing an A-arm the front bushing fits snug in the bracket but the rear bushing has about a 1/4 gap in it. Basically,Is it supposed to have a gap in it and supported by the front or is there supposed to be spacers in the back bushing?
