Re: Front end

["Ollie" <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do get some what puzzled why a person would want to replace good parts? 
Replace only what is bad and use the money on other projects on the vehicle.
When you begin your front end project and are going to need at least a tie 
rod puller. When you unbolt upper ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. they are 
not going to just fall out. You can get a cheap one at Auto Zone for $15. 
Why new brake drums if yours are good or can be turned? OME drums are better 
than the china drums that u will buy as replacements.
Yes, you will have to remove the shocks.

Before I would begin a front end project step one is to find you a front end 
man. You are not going to walk into the the shop at Wal-Mart and expect the 
front end man there to know anything about our old mopars. A front end man 
can tell you what is bad and needs replacing. You may even need concentric A 
frame bushings to correct a camber problem.

Yea I'm with you on that. I think that's what I'll do. I have greased 
everything a few times, I like keeping things maintained. The guy I bought 
it from early this year said a brake job was done on it, well, doesn't sound 
like it. So I figured what the hell I'll replace them and drums and do front 
end. I've never done any of this so it's all gonna be quite a ride I bet 
lol. If I do the control arm bushings, do I have to remove the shocks? I 
really hate to tear everything apart without a little guidance.
