Monday the front suspension on my car will be rebuilt. Bought the two upper a-frames yesterday from a local junk yard... Got both sides, they pulled them for me, for $120.00. They went out with a fork tractor to get the car, and he had to move about 6 cars to get to the car I wanted to harvest the "A" frames from. So here is a list of what I am having done to the car...
Two new upper A frames. (Civilian) He is sandblasting them, then we are painting them with the bed liner paint.
Upper and lower ball joints
Two new police shocks
Two new P-72 springs---
Bushings on the lower A frames (Since he will have it all apart anyway)
He is only charging me to do the "A" frame replacement, bushing replacements, and Ball joint replacements. Since he will have the entire thing apart to replace those. So the shocks and springs will be replaced for free. Also, all four of the ball joints are under warranty, from 2006 when I rebuilt the front end before....And the bushings... (I buy everything with lifetime warranty, just for this reason!) Only parts I will have to pay for are the upper bushings, the shocks, and the springs... Also he got a huge discount from his supplier, which he is passing on to me! (He got the springs for about $60,00, the shocks for under $40.00, and all the bushings for about $25.00....) The springs and bushings are all "Moog" parts, and Monroe Shocks....
I wanted to replace the front springs last time, just didn't have the money... I figure it was past due for them, since it now has 300,000 miles plus on the car.... Can't believe I have had this car long enough to be rebuilding the front suspension AGAIN!!! Pictures after we do the overhaul, on Monday....
