So I've got a stack of parts to do a rebuild/minor upgrade to my front suspension (and new springs for the rear). (Big shout out CharlieF1 and all the help on putting together a good list btw)
Realized it has been a LONG time since I have done any work on this part of the car..and never for some of it. Been about 13 years since I have done a disc brake job (and the associated things with that) and I haven't done anything besides suspension adjustments for learning how to do an alignment..and it has been 15 years since I've done that.
I am planning on taking my time (I have the next four days off) and I am watching the generic videos on YouTube on how to do this. I tried to find a good thread about a basic rebuild but I just couldn't find one. So I will be taking lots of pictures while I do this and hope to add to the 'how to' section at the end..(If I do a good job, that is).
Also Charlie offered phone advise and I'm pretty sure I will be abusing that!!!!! lol (not kidding)
The one area I'm concerned about is spring removal for front and rear. Been reading some interesting things about that here on the board. Hopefully I can find some good tips with the search feature before I start!!!
If anyone wants to point me to a good thread that would be appreciated..other wise I'm just venting a bit before I start because I'm nervous!
Thanks for listening!!!
