Hi There,
I am currently in the process of rebuilding my front end and I have a question that I hope one of you will help me with. Excuse the terminology but I am working on the upper and lower control arms or a-arms and I was wondering if there is a secret to getting the bushings centered between the arms and on the shaft? I put the spring seat and the lower ball joints on first and with everything tightened up the dust boots just want to roll over. It seems like I need a little more clearance for them. Should I have put the bushings on the shaft first and then put the spring seat and ball joint on? I only want to do this project once so any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Corey Hanks

RE:Front Suspension
Hey Corey, I am not sure I understand what it is you are asking exactly. My light bulb is burning a little dim on this one. Is there any way you can take a picture? Maybe someone else gets it for sure but I do not.
Or better yet-Lou will come over and show you how it is done!
