Maybe it was covered over the last 11 pages, but what are you using for references/instructions? I've looked into some of the rear suspension DIYs online, and I feel like a lot of them are written by people who like taking extra shit apart for no reason.

I think JV just uses his memory from the last N times he took his race car apart and put it back together.

As in, factory service manual vs. something else, one of which was helpful before you gained the ability to do the work drunk and blindfolded.

TIS beats everything else.

I do some recon via YouTube and forum DIY's and use a Chilton book mostly for torque specs.

I use the TIS for torque settings and other specs... though TIS is incredibly frustrating to navigate. TIS was indispensable when I rebuild the engine in the DSP car.
For procedures, I kind of just figured things out on my own. |
