I just installed poly bushings and Moog ball joints into recently powder-coated front control arms. And will be taking two of my summer wheels to get summer tires mounted later this afternoon.
However, over the last two months, the list is longer...
Removed rear bumper cover to access rusted area.
Scraped/sanded the rusty area, cleaned and treated with POR15 pretreatment, coated with POR15 treatment, and coated with POR15 top-coat.
Replaced bumper cover.
Removed rear springs and shocks.
Added delrin inserts to shock mount tops.
Replaced stock shocks with KYB AGX.
Replaced rear springs with Eibach Pros.
Removed and reconditioned rear brake brackets and replaced rear brakes with slotted rotors and Hawk pads.
Installed 5mm spacers (already had longer wheel studs from replacing bearings and hubs last summer).
Installed aluminum lugs.
Switched ends... (forgot to replace fuel filter)
Disassembled pre-TB intake system to get to shift mechanism.
(Cleaned foam filters while off.)
Replaced tiny square bushing on shift mechanism, which had worn completely through on two side and made it almost impossible to shift into reverse (lubed the slide grove with PTFE silicon lube).
Removed coil/spark wires and valve cover.
Removed fuel rail and replaced injectors with flow matched ones.
Cleaned #1 and #2 spark plug wells (oil had accumulated in them from a bad cover gasket... previous owner), and replaced all spark plugs.
Refreshed valve cover gaskets (decided not to mess with VCT O-ring).
Removed thermostat housing (Bostig unit had a tiny leak at the temp sensor gasket) and replaced temp sensor gasket hack.
... almost went back to stock, but the Bostic unit is too bling to give up on, unless my gasket hack leaks again.
Restored engine compartment to normal appearance.
Painted a spare set of knuckles with POR15 (full treatment).
Removed front springs and struts.
Removed front brakes (to replace with same as rear).
Removed knuckles.
Removed control arms (nasty business... we broke one of the 14mm 10.8 rear inside bolts [
!] I now have a couple of new "battle scars").
Installed struts and springs same as rear.
Installed black Steeda strut bar.
Just a bit more to do and it will be put back together and hopefully running better than before... I'll update.
