I did a little work to the car over the weekend and have the sore muscles to prove it. As I'm a bit fussy when it comes to how well things work I decided to tackle the front suspension. Here'* what got done;

1) Monroe strut top plates
2) New Monroe Sensa-Trak struts
3) Moog ball joints
4) custom slotted Raybestos rotors
5) Raybestos Quiet Stop pads
6) Ceramic VHT paint

Once that was all done I went to the dealer for a 4 wheeel alignment as I had also changed the rear struts and top plates a month ago. Just in case I hadn't dropped enough coin, the technician informed me an inner tie-rod needed repacement so I did that as well. I had recently changed the front sway bar endlinks for urethane ones and replaced the isolator bushings with GM parts. I also put new tires on a few weeks ago - Bridgestone Potenza G009s - so now the car turns and stops like Jack the Bear.

Next weekend I have new rear brake drums to go, also ceramic painted and baked, and I have new sway bar end links and the whole isolator assemblies.

Here'* a few photos from the weekend;







With all that done I'll be able to get going on the next projects

Cheers,

Nice job, Do those monroe struts have the nipple for the air pump?

Thanks for the great pics foghorn

Glad all worked out even though you had to pay a little more, in for a penny, in for a pound

Nope, any signs of pneumatic suspension have been removed :? , the car originally had the ELC. Since I rarely have anyone or anything else in the car I decided to go the simplest, and most reliable route.

Thanks PDad, I'm feeling a few pounds heavier now

Cheers,

Oh okay, do they make aftermarket struts for the ELC?

great work

Looks great dude

Nice job!!! Looks great.

while you're down there you should replace your sway bar links.

They don't look new enough

Cheers,
