This weekends project is to remove the slop from the front suspension. The ball joints have to go. I’m just going to replace the cup and ball end links with hemispheric ball ends.
The biggest slop is the front inner pivot pins. The pins seem tight in the A block and push into the control arm OK but where they go though the front bulkhead is not even a tight fit. So I am thinking I need bigger pins. I happen to have a lifetime collection of old worn out drill bits. I’m hoping I can find the perfect size drill bit and cut it to length. Or go to Ace and buy two new bits.
Next area of attention is the rear suspension and the plastic transmission. But that’s all going to wait till next year.
