MORE SUSPENSION WORK



We spent today removing the swivel axles, hubs, springs and spring pans.  Most of the fasteners were fused together.  Some of these suspension parts will require replacement but most of them can be saved.  The suspension parts to be restored will be sandblasted on Monday morning and painted that afternoon.  
Notice that the shock absorber is in the "loaded" position...meaning it must be rebuilt.  We anticipated rebuilding both front and rear shocks.  They will be sent to Apple Hydraulics.



Stay tuned,
Tom

  1. Thanks a lot for providing individuals with remarkably nice possiblity to read critical reviews from this site. It's always so useful and full of amusement for me personally and my office co-workers to visit your site not less than 3 times in a week to learn the newest issues you have got. Of course, I'm so always motivated for the incredible hints you give. Certain 4 tips in this post are in truth the very best I've had.
