    Upper control arm bushings

    Look for the one that had the one long screw in the middle with 4 claws attached. With this one, you just stick it in your shock tower, clamp it as high and as low as you can and screw away! I used the other version yesterday and let me tell you, it was a PAIN! You have two separate clamps...

    Replacing rear springs

    Keep it up! Yeah, I just did mine yesterday. Took me about 6 hours of work with the same set-up that you had. I placed a similar jack under the pumpkin as well. I think I didn't get the "lopsided" effect because I let the axle down all the way until springs held the weight of the axle...

    Torque Specs Leaf Springs etc..

    I just installed new reverse eye leafs, KYB Gas-a-Just shocks, and a 3/4" Rr. Sway Bar on my stang, but my repair manuals do not have the torques for the front and rear leaf spring bolts and U-Bolts. Does anyone know the torque specs for these? I'd hate for something to come undone...

    2 Control arm questions.

    I bought a suspension rebuild kit. Small question: My LCAs came without paint. If you are on a budget what's the best paint & method to use? Bigger question: I have a 70 Grande'. When I ordered the kit, the supplier offered me 620 1-1/2" drop coil springs. Apparently the springs...

    How long do I wait?

    Call them back and cancel that portion of your order. I have had to to this a couple of times. I would stick to companies that's known for their promptness and customer service. For example NPD or Mustangs Unlimited. Unless, of course, this is one of the companies you are having problems...

    How much Peel Away does it take to do a whole car?

    Wow! That truly is remarkable. So it takes 3 days to do the whole process. Not bad for such good results. I assume POR-15 is heat resistant since you used it on your drums?:shrug: I guess this is a trivial question since the website is not yours...anyway, has anybody done it?
