Posted October 25, 200420 yr comment_99457 Suspension is about to be the next bit I attack on my resto.Plenty of you guys have done this and what I'm asking is what would you consider "a must" when pulling the suspension apart.The car won't be a daily driver. Its purpose is a second family :nervous: car.... :devious: Poly or rubber.Should I replace wheel bearings? Or am I better doing those as and when they need it.Diff bearings? Or am I also better doing these at a later date as and if.Hardy Spicer's?Top tower mounts?Any thing else I might need to do let me know your advise.CheersJames Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/13775-suspension-rebuild/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 25, 200420 yr comment_99460 Replace the rubber with rubber to keep a softer, more forgiving ride-but know you will need to replace them again down the road. Replace the rubber with urethane to add some response to the suspension, and remove most of the compliance, at the expense of some of the ride comfort. Replace the bearings as they need it Shocks will make a good difference too-might look in the acrhives, Mike has done an article on the adjustable variety, and many members have given their opinions throughout the suspension forums..I am going overboard on mine, urethane, Tokico Optimas, customized spring perch mounting locations, Tokico Springs, 280 Swaybars, caster and camber adjustments, but nothing that will look like it isn't factory unless you have a facttory piece to compare it to.Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/13775-suspension-rebuild/#findComment-99460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
