Front suspension refresh

[radlynx]

I just would like to share the front suspension refresh I did. It included the new differential seals, new axles, new lower control arms with balljoints and new cam bolts.

that included the removal of rust, cleaning it with lacquer thinner and painting it. it was one difficult job due to rusted cam bolts. I ended up cutting my old lower control arm to get it done quicker. I also removed the stabilizer bar and seems to drive okay. you will see side by side the old OEM strut.

By the way, all parts were bought at rockauto except the oil seal and cam bolts.

Nice, do you take any before/after pictures?

Seems like a good amount of work. Which axles did you go with from RA?

bought the Cardone one (around $70 each).. I don't think reusing the old one is a good idea since it started to have a groove in the seal area but it's good to have as an old spare. just posted the pictures. maximum of 8 only.
