Now you can feel safer at the track being all new front brakes and a suspension redo.
I second the idea of replacing the front hoses, but you probably were going to already.

Yes...I plan on replacing the hoses.

I cleaned parts today and found a few factory paint marks.

These are the bushings that were on the upper control a-arm.

Long overdue!

Kurt-

Double check the lower control arm bolts that run through the bushing and attach to frame - when I re-did my front suspension on the Chevelle the shoulders of the bolts were really worn and needed replacing.

Jake,

Indeed you are correct.....this much more evident with oval bushings as on your Chevelle vs. the round bushings on a 1969 model.

Thanks for the tips...I will inspect those bolts.

With everything I'm seeing, it's no wonder why the front end made so many noises.

I will be sending out the master cylinder but the calipers were decent so I ordered a seal rebuild kit for them.

I got my &quot;BA&quot; master cylinder back from Karps.....they did a nice job.

I also plumbed the brake lines for my Hurst Line Lock.......Hopefully I don't have any leaks.

I'm going to remove the protective coating on the new brake lines so they look like the others and then wire the Line Lock.

I plan on getting the front end back together sometime soon

Kurt
