Suspension Removed
On Christmas day, I removed the suspension from the car and cleaned up the suspension arms to take to Tony at TC Design to have new bushings pressed in. I don’t have the necessary 12-ton press to do this job. Disassembling the shocks and springs to get the shock mount off was pretty fun. Normally you would use a spring compressor to remove tension from the shock mount, but I didn’t have any. So I laid the assembly down in the backyard, put my foot on the shock mount, and zipped off the top nut with the cordless impact. TWANG! The shock and spring shot about 10 feet away from me. The shock mount and nut were still underfoot. Success!I assembled the new shocks and springs with the old shock mounts, and bolted them to the car. Now it’s just waiting for the suspension arm bushings, which will be done in the next day or two.
