the other day i started putting the front suspension together. i pressed the hubs in, and then realized the lower control arm bushings were super beat. they pretty much pushed right out lol. new bushings are on the way. today my dad and i put the trailing arm bushings in. while we were at it, we installed new wheel cylinders, shoes and springs. we gotta finish up the passenger side and rear suspension on monday. we cut the old bushings out with a reciprocating saw. then we torched the little bits of the old bushing out 🙂 the new energy suspension bushings went in really easily. we used the wheel bearing hub tamer kit. it was a breeze lol. heres some pics: ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/CIMG0445.jpg?t=1306623481](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/CIMG0445.jpg?t=1306623481) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/CIMG0446.jpg?t=1306623481](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/CIMG0446.jpg?t=1306623481) ---

well with the lca bushings i bought, i thought they were supposed to be both for the arm itself not one for the arm and one for the radius arm. so i ended up goin to honda to get the other bushings i needed. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/bushing.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/bushing.jpg) cutting out the metal sleeves wasnt very easy. heres what i used lol 🙂 ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/tools.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/tools.jpg) i had to cut the sleeve, then use the punch to knock it free. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/lca1.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/lca1.jpg) in the end it turned out pretty good. got the bushings in today. then bolted the knuckles in. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/lca.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/lca.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/knuckle.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/knuckle.jpg) tomorrow it will be leavin the shop and headin to the house 🙂 🙂 im waiting on a package today with the rest of the motor rebuild parts today. other than the motor and tranny goin in, there are only a few little bits before it can be back on the road. ---

It’s sitting pretty level for having no engine in there. I’m assuming you’ll be tweaking the coilovers. ---
