Quickly spinning out of control!

Want-A-Vert · 01-23-2007, 07:07 PM

All, I have gone from pulling the motor to clean it to now getting it rebuilt.

Ive gone from spray painting the engine compartment to talking with my body man and having him spray it, which means disassembly of the front end.

Now for the question...how do I tell what I need for my front end. All the main components (tie rods, centerlink, pitman arm, idler arm) look okay, and the car drove alright when I took it out. As far as I can tell, I may want to change sway bar bushings and control arm bushings since these parts will be off.

Ive already gone too farand I need to perform some cost control!! Help!

Buy these things in kit form to save money! Also, have someone move the steering wheel back and forth while you inspect the tie rods for play. Or...do it all the 1st time knowing it's right and save the headache instead of the money!
