Front end rebuild ?'s
So, I got permission from the wife to work on the truck on 05/12-5/13 (those of you that are locked down know what I mean) it's hard to get away some times lol. Well, I plan on using this time to finally rebuild the front end. I have all the control arm bushings and the ball joints. I have already replaced the shocks about 2 months ago. what else do I need? I would like to get everything now so that once I pull everything apart I don't have to make extra trips to the parts house..... any tips that will make the job go smoother would be greatly appreciated . should I get new coils?
Bone stock 86 305 , 1/2 ton short bed with 700r

Re: Front end rebuild ?'s
What INSIDIOUS 86 said, but go through Rockauto. Same parts 25-45% cheaper and if you google "rockauto coupon" you can find a code for another 5% off! I am looking to do my suspension soon too, here are part #s of what I have compiled so far. Not all inclusive I am sure. All #s are moog/timken parts.
My truck is an 85 if it makes a difference. Upper ball joints K6136 Lower ball joints K6117T Upper arm bushings x2 K6138 Lower arm bushings x2 K6137 Idler arm K6247T Pitman arm K6143 Tie rod ends ES409RT x2 ES409LT X2 Tie rod adjusters ES2004S x2 Wheel bearings outer x2 SET3 Wheel bearings inner x2 SET6 Bearing seals x2 8871 Please feel free to add to this, I may have forgotten something. I only want to tear it apart once! |
