Out With The Stock K-mem & A-Arms

not to bad

was not tooo bad to get the stock stuff out. A good strong-arm with WD-40 and out it will come..

I ended up getting pritty much all new bolts. The ones that came out were in not the best shape. Figure bolts from 88 that have never been touched they needed to be replaced in a bad way.

got a couple pics that I might put up....

cool, I think I'll get new bolts before starting this... I'm keeping the stock A-arms though so I don't have to remove the ball-joints. pics are welcome

just get a-arms with the ball joints

Here are a couple pics of the new vs. old bolts....

I got all new A-Arm Bolts, K-member bolts that go into the frame rail & the clips that they bolt into, rack and pinion bolts & the bolt sleeves, and one new rubber for the rack.

Here are a couple pics.. It's crazy how much the bolts could deteriorate but hey 1988 to 2007 is a couple years.. lol

OLD vs. NEW






All the new stuff

I would say

I'm gonna say around 40-50lbs... thats a guess.. I just might get the scales out and see.
