Well, the guy's cell phone crashed and none of the pics were backed up!!
So I've been running around trying to get pictures of assembled front suspension with not much luck so far.
Can anyone point me to suspension pictures, or, better yet, any exploded views of how all this goes back together? of particular interest would be the how the tie rods, drag links, brake backing plate and spindles go back together. thanks | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Do you have a copy of a 1958 Shop Manual and/or the 55-59 Factory Assembly Manual? Maybe someone who does will tell you page numbers and/or post links to appropriate pages. Neither of those documents are on-line.
Learn a lesson for the future: if a shop is taking photos with a phone, ask them to email the photos to you. I feel your pain, regarding the lost photos.
Good luck,

I forgot to mention that I have both the assembly and shop manual but the pics are so poor as to be unuseable. I'll check the online one. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | the assembly manual should be quite clear if you find the proper pages, even calls out nuts and bolts and washers .... section 3 front suspension, section 5 brakes, section 9 steering gear ... take them the manual and point out the sections, if they can't figure it out gather up the pieces and take it elsewhere!
