It’s in place and within 1/32-1/16” of where it should be front to back.

Time to burn it in.

Those pre forned section plates look like they fit perfectly. Good job.

I’m finally off for two days. Sticking it back together.

Trying to finish it up. Since the sleeve wouldn’t bottom out on the frame this is all I could think of doing.

Sadly my Roto-Zip gave up the ghost this afternoon grinding the Lower Control arm mount back to expose the repair sleeve to weld it to the frame.

I figured it be dead soon. It’s on its third set of bearings. I’ve beat the crap out of it since I bought it in the early 2000’s. Lately it’s been my Die-Grinder.

I was looking for a small die grinder. I have 2 dremels but that roto zip may come in handy...:-)

Good to see you have it within a 1/16 to 1/32. Great job...:-)

It’s welded and painted and on the ground. I need new bolts for the running board so it’s the only thing not finished. I’ll drive it tomorrow to work and see where my steering wheel ends up.

I ended up buying a Dremel. The new current Roto-Zip isn’t anywhere close to my old one. Plus the 1 1/2” mini cutoff wheel is what I needed.

Great job on all of this! On top of that, I hope you enjoy the new SPC lower links. ;)

My steering is now just right of center.

I got a crooked steering wheel after just replacing my rear control arm bushings with the Energy suspension poly bushings. I'd say it was off a good 10 degrees, and both the stock bushings and those basically have to 'center' so I'd say if I got that much off with the bushing replacement, you are VERY close to the stock location. Nice job!

The bushings in my old arms were not horrible looking.

When I first went to put the arms in I had to use a come-a-long to get the bolt holes lined up. Laying the old ones on top of the new ones the newer ones looked shorter by about 1/8”.

Edit: other than the steering wheel not being strait ahead the steering is tight and the rig tracks strait over bumps and tire grooves.
