    Installing Control arm zerk fittings

    The "graphite impregnated" bushings do nothing for squeaks. I installed mine with a little too little grease and they still squeaked. I remember reading somewhere that they didn't even need grease.. lol Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk

    Installing Control arm zerk fittings

    Wrong section. The lower control arm bushings were never meant to be removed, and therefore you cannot buy factory bushings for the lower control arm.

    Worth Saving?

    Worth Saving?

    Look, if you want to restore the car to its past condition, do it right. It sounds like you really want to restore it for your father, and I say GO FOR IT. Let me tell you this though, if you have a shop do it, don't expect to keep repair bills under 1000 bucks. For me to have a couple big...

    fuel and vacuum troubleshoot

    Now when you said you had fuel, do you mean like a foot stream out of whatever you disconnected? And then zero at the AFPR? Or a dribble out of whatever you disconnected and zero at the rail? And this was when we thought you had a clog in the rail.. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk
