Front suspension rebuild!!!

I have spring break this week, so I started rebuilding my suspension. I thought taking out the front springs was going to be much, much worse, but it was easy. I strapped the springs to the k-member, loosened the nut for the ball joint, put a jack under the a-arm, removed the top nut holding the strut to the tower, slowly lowered the jack which allowed the a-arm to swing down all the way which relieved most of the tension on the spring and gave the strut/spindle a little shake to free the inner edge of the spring and viola! After I got the spring out I reconnected the strut to the tower and broke the ball joint. I picked up all new moog components (inner/outer tie rods, center link, idler arm and ball joints), energy suspension poly a-arm bushings, as well as a spohn sway bar set, spohn steering brace, and the eibach pro kit. I'll be adding pictures as I go along, but so far I've painted the new moog stuff as well as the a-arms. I'm going to paint the chassis and then I can put the new stuff back in. Enjoy!
