Awesome write up and pics. Did you tighten everything up with the suspension hanging or with it compressed?

EDIT: Condensing to add space for 88 poly...
whodeanie, how did you sneak in there? I thought I could get it all posted... =)
I should also thank Modat5 for helping.
I'll try to resize those ones that you have to click on so they show up...

Well, that depends... The first time or the second when I got the caps cut down... =)
We tightened up the arms and torqued them first. Then as we started adding parts (some you will feel go together) we torqued them.

I asked because I had read you are *supposed* to torque it down with the weight of the car on the suspension. I simply let the car rest on the jack (under the lower ball joint) so as to simulate the wheel in place. Don't really know what difference it makes with poly.

I'll add you can also cut the old rubber out with a saw-zaw. Lots of lets stink (still some tho)
I cant believe you didnt have any huge problems, I had all sorts of issues just doing the rear tie-rods and rear control arms, I still have yet to do the front :-(

just luckie I guess.
I just did the same thing on my 88 about 4 mounths ago plus the poly motor and trans mounts also (that was fun -- NOT!)
have you had the alignment done yet? mine were so bad that when I did the poly the rear wheels were all out of wack.
now it drives like a slotcar. then I went and tore the body off to do other mods so I have not driven it since

Nice job Brian.
Having helped on two of these now, I personally think the hardest part is removing and then
re-installing the springs....
