Dad and I had a fun day in the garage:-)

We installed all the bushings except the front upper control arm bushings, installed the front lowers, rear upper and lowers, and trailing arms.

Huge success!!!!

We used the threaded clamp exactly as the assembly manual explains and all went very well. i had all the preparations done so we have one a try, it went well and we couldn't get stopped:-)

Pictures later, I have to get pretty for a family night:-) Fun day all around:-)

Happy Daddy!!

This assembly was much faster than I thought:-)

We had to be careful to get the ball joints started straight, they are a tight press fit.

It felt so good to install parts on the frame today

I checked a few times back to page 100 on this thread to make sure each arm was in the right place:-)

We even added non stock trailing arms:-)

The bolts for the rear lower arms at the front are different than all the rest, and just like my original pictures each bolt is in the same orientation:-)

Yeah!!

PS: Started preparing to assemble the front upper control arms, by my measurements the cross shafts are not side specific and don't matter if they are installed 180 degrees either way.......
