Car is a 71 Espirit
So I did the rear springs & bushings and shocks last weekend (GW springs with Del-a-lum and Edelbrock shocks). Should have asked for tips and tricks on the springs/bushings.

This weekend hopefully the front suspension will be rebuilt using GW Tubular upper and lower a-arms fully assembled.

Have a GM Service Manual and a Chiltons, but does anyone have any good/bad experiences to share?

Thanks

KenB

Ken,

Here's a good thread on doing a front end rebuild.

Thank you
Exactly what I needed, but I wasn't using the correct search terms or got too many returns.

I'll have to report how it goes. Expect about a month delay as only a few hours each week are available for the car.
4 hours here, 4 hours there, redo the first 4 hours, 4 more going getting more parts, add 4 more for changing my mind on something already done.

I'll never finish in time for my son's 16th birthday, and he just turned 3!

Thanks again

Ken B
