WTBRT ULTRA report
The "WTBRT" tackled the front suspension update of #112 on Sunday. We installed
all the "treasures" after pulling the old front suspension from a shreaking #112 who
claimed there was nothing wrong with her old stuff.
She relucantly gave in as the last
of her front suspension bolts were cranked out. Of course there were no complaints as
the new implants were done.
Corvair Underground's pretty blue bushings were used in the A arms, Clarks ball joints
are now in place, ULTRA HD coil springs with a 2 coil cut are riding in the spring towers with
the ULTRA bump stops halved per Seth's reminder and the "OOS" ( Old Original Stock ) front
cross member has been media blasted and POR 15ed. We had already done brakes (seldom used)
new brake hoses, HD schocks and rebushed the sway bar when we refurbished the steering system
and added the ULTRA aftermarket fast steering arms. We are having one slight problem with an
uncooperative ULTRA nut currently unwilling to leave it's original thread position on the right ULTRA
adjusting strut. Although the ULTRA nut has been PB blasted, tapped with our ULTRA hammer
and wrenched violently it remains steadfast. The complete ULTRA front suspension has been
reinstalled and Scott and I are very pleased with the results.
Next we tackle the trailing arm bushings and the rear coil springs but that's another story.
