On Monday, I put all my bushings on the barbie to burn out the rubber...
BUSHINGS HOT OFF THE GRILL (not really) and the rubber burnt out nicely. Just tapped them on the grill grate and all the rubber ash just fell out...
Went over on Tuesday to blast them clean but there was no power at the dealership, so I just put together the rear sway bar brackets and laid everything out for a photo op.... ALL IN THE DARK
Snuck back over to the shop Thursday afternoon and blasted the cups....
then took them home and polished them with the wire wheel on my bench grinder.....
On Saturday, all control arms are now painted and awaiting bushing installation...
bushing cups, polyurethane bushings and bushing sleeves laid out for verification...
passenger side rear wheelhouse rubberized undercoated...
rear axle bumpers and rear sway bars links INSTALLED (reversed the assembly process of the sway bar brackets for easier hardware access)....
broke down the steering shaft link for replacement of the rag joint....
and blasted the jack and spare tire J bolt so they can be polished prior to being dropped off at the platers with the bushing cups...
Until next week.....
ZEBRA 3 OUT
