Rich,
I just gotta say thank you for taking us "along for the ride" so to speak with this suspension rebuild.
Im loving watching the progression.
Im considering re-doing my rear suspension one of these days and this is very informative.
now I just need a place and the know-how to do it :)

Jeff..I guess the hardest part was getting it apart..as it had the original u joints in it..had to torch the whole thing apart..if I would have known that it was completely rusted together I would have taken it out in one piece..its easy to post stuff with the new phone I have so its fun doing so..if you have a way of removing the arms bring em down for a bbq beer and ice cream..can be done in short time since I got all the stuff!!..maybe a 12 pack worth!!
