I finally have most of the stuff I need to set up the front suspension on my 72 Malibu. As I install this stuff is there anything I should look out for? any tips or tricks would be appreciated.
The springs, shocks, and rear suspension are already installed.
The suspension is as follows:
Front-
SC&C Stage 2+
SPC lightweight adjustable upper A arms
SPC Tubular lower control arms
Variable rate rebound bumpers
Screw in Howe tall upper and tall lower ball joints
stock spindles
CPP aluminum front hubs
C5 calipers with 13" rotors
Stock power brake booster with CPP 15/16 dual disc master cylinder
wilwood adjustable proportioning valve
Bilstein shocks
Eibach 1.3" drop springs (front and rear)
Grand Cherokee Steering box
Moog tie rod ends, pitman arm and centerlink
Edelbrock Tie rod sleeves
stock f41 1 1/8 front sway bar
Rear-
stock 3.31 12 bolt Posi
Edelbrock adjustable upper control arms
square tubular lower control arms
stock f41 7/8 rear sway bar
stock rear braces
1999 Trans am rear disc brakes (12")
I think I might want to step up the sway bars, but I thought I would try it the way it is first.
I had also thought about swapping the 3.31s for a 3.73 since the LS engine TKO 600 combo surges below 1600 rpms.
