I see you are using a DSP approved clamp on that dust boot. :kekeke:

John V 03-27-2017 12:01 PM

Ha, yes, I hate the stupid metal factory clamps

rumatt 03-27-2017 03:58 PM

Yay.

How are the wheel bearings BTW?

I'm betting on "present."

(JV - let me know if you want to borrow the B90 tool as well.)

I'm surprised at this, but all the bearings are smooth and don't have any noticeable play. My ZHP went through both front wheel bearings in my ownership. The DSP car hasn't needed any yet. But it only has 8,100 miles :)

I mean, with 170k, and significant disassembly, I'd probably at least do the rear bearings. :)

What tie rods did you use for this? And did you use the OEM springs?

Shocks and tie rods are a little bit lower on my list, but I want to start thinking about what to buy for that project.

And only like 4,050 of them are under its own power.
