  • Front Suspension

    So I have purchased.

    Strano Springs
    KYB AGX's
    Moog Front Mounts
    Moog Spring seats
    (Do I need the dust covers and bump stops for the front??)

    Nope, that should do it.

    If you want to make life easier for yourself though, you can buy front shock mounts so you don't have to deal with taking apart the old units because they can be very rusty and near impossible to get apart in one piece depending on how and where your car has lived it's life.

      Re: Front Suspension

      I am not going to take apart my old assembly.

      If I need it I will buy it, but I could spend the money better another way.


      Why do I not need it?

            And pics too! You'll enjoy the new ride, trust me. I did mine and the ride was so much better. Stiffer, but better.

                I know you said front suspension, but is an adjustable panhard rod on that parts list too? If not, your rear end will be a little off-center.

                  Dust covers serve very little purpose and only seem to cause problems for aftermarket setups, namely loud noises when going over bumps. As far as front bump stops, I don't know what you're talking about, as our cars don't have front bump stops.

                  Disregard my first mention of shock mounts though, I missed that you already purchased them.

                    Ya, I completed the front and now my steering rack feels like its taking a ****, and when I am parked in neutral, and I turn the wheel from side to side quickly it knocks

                    Yes I have a UMI adj. PHB in the garage along with the rear shocks and springs.

                    Well. We do have bump stops, because I positive I put on little white things down the pole of the shock, that hit would hit the shock mount if compressed enough.

                    So should I take off the dust covers?

                      At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                      Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
