Ok guys, heres the deal, if and I mean if, I get the torque arm in place, I will have a legit roller sans front springs. It will be riding on the bump stops. I have the torque arm almost where it needs to be, but its an inch too far back still and I ran out of leverage. I can't get it to slide into the bushing anymore no matter how much grease or WD-40 I use. zraffz I know is closest, I'll be sending him a PM.
I have camber/caster plates arriving tomorrow so I can hook up the front struts to that. As for the springs, I am thinking of trying one more time without the motor, this time I am thinking hook up the strut, pivot at the ball joint, with all three wheels on the ground and chock the rear tire. Its more stable and the pivot at the ball joint I think gives more room. I got close last time, but teetering on jackstands I decided to stop. It would be nice to roll the car out and clean up all the nuts, bolts etc that have wound up scattered all over the floor.
Its getting nice out, I'm up in Andover in Sussex County if anyone wants to see if they can give me a hand with getting that last inch from the torque arm. I'm 5'6 or so and 140. I don't have the leverage to get that last bit.
