Hello,

Well...almost a year later and I have 95% of the parts the rebuild my front suspension.  I received the Dickman steering rack bushing and planning to do this with Blair.  Cpt gave me a few pointers/things to remember but since we have never done one before, any additional information to be concerned about or "ease" of accomplishing this would be appriciated.

Thanks

Just be patient. If you try to rush things, things get broken.  I am sure Blair has a few spare parts, but.........    Oh and before you install it in the car, take a pair of pliers and use them to turn the steering input shaft all the way lock to lock to make sure nothing binds at either end of the spectrum.  It would suck to put it back in just to find that you have to pull it back out.
