Nope, everything is new except the pitman and idler arm. The pitman had the ball replace and new inserts installed.

Installed parts today. Now for an alignment

Nice to see you are going the extra mile. Rebuilding RX-2 suspension is a huge pain in the a$$! I'm still going through it with Scott's white liger. One day I will finish and then it's time to do mine... :(
|
The actual work is easy, its working the OT to pay for it that hurts :)

Hey banzai, if you buy nolethane inner bushings from scott's, please be advised that they won't fit as received. I had to spin them on my fingertips and sand down the OD of the bushing before it would fit into the control arm. That stuff is so soft but tough, that you can scarcely cut it with a knife - very weird stuff.
When you're done, it'll look like you just stuffed a firecracker into a blue cat (nolethane everywhere) but they work great. |

When you're done, it'll look like you just stuffed a firecracker into a blue cat (nolethane everywhere) but they work great. They are definetly a bitch to get into the control arm, but I was able to do it with 2 boards, a vice, and a TON of elbow grease. |
I have some OEM Style inner bushings, still debating about the control aarm sway bar bushings
|
Started turning my own Control Arm Sway Bar Bushings today from some UHMW Polyethylene. Should work, anyone else turned their own bushings?
