Another lowering thread, long intro

[Normspeed]

I'd hate to miss Mooneyes like I did last year. I'm gonna do my best and now that the car is handling better I'm more likely to go. If I go you'll be able to recognize me...I'll be the older guy wearing jeans and an automotive-themed T-shirt.

I'll have to look at the flyer again, I usually don't pay to display, but might just park out in the lot, walk in and and enjoy the show.

After we practice on yours, I mean lower yours, I could write a pretty good tech article about R&R'ing coils on the early Mopars. It's pretty simple if you do things in the right order. No spring compresser needed, and you don't even need to mess with the shock absorbers. Dirty job though.

Hey Norm,

You could do a quick run through for a guy like me who STILL hasn't done it...gotta remove the steering knuckle support to get the kingpin lock pin pressed out.

Been to darn cold (-30, -40).

"Warmed up" enough that the heater in the garage keeps the ice soft:eek:

I'll do that Pat. Wish I had taken a few photos yesterday, but I didn't want to touch my camera with all that grease and road dirt on me. I'll check my manual so I name the parts correctly, and do a post later. All you need is 2 jackstands, a floor jack, and a coupla sizes of sockets.

And HEAT...you gotta have HEAT

Oh and when you have no heat, the damn fourescent lights don't light up so good, so you have no heat and you have no light .

Thanks Norm.

The car is up on stands, front clip and engine and trans are out.
