Before I forget to say it…Merry Christmas!
Last night into this morning I finished up installing the following new rear end parts:
Rear Springs
Upper/Lower Spring Insulators
Upper/Lower Control Arms
Jounce Bumpers
Stabilizer Shaft Link
View attachment 358844
Now I need to pull the rear bumper cover, then clean and prep the bumper itself before putting another coat of rust preventer and a coat of primer on the body. After it dries I’ll hit it with a couple coats of underbody coating. If I’m not too high on paint fumes by that point, I’ll get the surface rust cleaned off those rotors. Too many days spent hugging and sweating all over the hubs. It shouldn’t take much more than a scotch pad or a piece of extra fine steel wool and a can of extra flammable brake cleaner.
Shoot! Hold that thought, I need to hook up the electrical connectors at the main fuse block so I can actually open the rear Liftgate (without drilling a hole in it to gain access to the release). Grrr!
Happy “Presents Day” to the forum. Enjoy unwrapping all those gifts you filthy animals!
