My front end is now done-wow!!
 
I got my hubs and brakes on today to finish my project, and I must say that she feels like a new car! Very solid and responsive feel from the front end now. All in all this project went very well, as this was my first experience with suspension work, and I'd estimate took about 14 hours over 4 different days.

Here's what is new:

Elephant Racing control arm bushings
Sway bar bushings
Turbo tie rods
Ball joints
Bump steer kit
Wheel Bearings
Rebuilt front calipers
New front pad/rotors
Painted all 4 calipers red

Now, alignment and a couple of new S-03's to match the new rears, and this chapter is closed. Next-interior or A/C??? Hmmm...

Ed...Congrats on the suspension work. I dread doing mine. It will wait till it cools off. Just to darn hot in my garage. You may recall I did the complete A/C overhaul this past winter. Sure did enjoy that today!SmileWavy

Matthew: I put an A/C unit in the garage, it keeps it in the low 80's if I turn it on the nite before.

Good job Ed...

Next should be the A/C.. after all this is Dallas!! look today 103 and 110 heat index!

After that just enjoy driving until the one day of snow and ice comes to North Texas, then you should replace the (IMHO) ugly rear black bumpers with... nothing.

Regards
