I am curious about what you guys out there know.
I am replacing wear items on the front suspension.
I have an Energy Suspensions Hyperflex Kit to install
(BTW the tranny mount in this kit is not correct)
I need to buy ball joints, somewhere on the board I read something about
balljoints from another vehicle, S-10 maybe, don't know.
They had something to do with correcting understeer, poor handling in corners.
I did buy the bushing shield from Poston(upper rear passenger side)
Not buying shocks for now, running them until i know what they feel like,they appear to be newer shocks.
I need new rotors/hubs, however they are sold.
Saw another article on S-10 2 wheel drive spindles/ calipers, hmmmm...interesting!
Anyway I bought this car in August, 2005 to restore in memory of my son.
I have never driven it, however the balljoints are riveted(original) not acceptable to me, rotors are wasted, bushings are wasted,especially upper rear passenger.
I'll leave it at that for now, we're talking about a car that will be at cruise- ins
car shows not (not a trailer queen, but not a beater), occasional run down the track, just to see what she'll do.
Talk to me Guys, Thanks,
