Moving right along, even if it seems like a crawling pace....
Front suspension has been removed. Cleaning takes more time than disassembly/assembly (as many others here already know).
The bolts that hold the caliper brackets and caliper to the bracket need some real cleaning up (maybe replacement) but otherwise everything just needs a good cleaning. I started using a wire wheel on the spindles but realized that it wasnt a stainless wheel so I stopped. Time to break out the Dawn dish soap and tooth brushes and get to work. We'll see what it looks like after a couple passes with a scotch brite pad and maybe a coat of clear.
Lower Control Arm bolts are on the way and so is my Power Steering Pump from Turn One! I guess the rack is still getting rebuilt.
Debating if I should replace front hubs at this point (while Im in there) but they seem to be solid... plenty of time before final assembly occurs.
The car drove "fine" before, now with fresh bushings and in tact ball joints it should be transformed!
