did you use the 'cartridge type' or the '2 halves' type?

are you going to use the super pro Castor Rod bushes as well?
Honestly cant recall it was months ago I put together the whole crossmember ASSY together. Would have to look up invoices.

Yes the s/p radius rod bushes are in.

What kind of bushes did you use in the control arms and what is your opinion of them?
SuperPro - I had them in the original control arms as well for five yrs (Approx 60000kms) and have had no issues. I'm happy with them, they work well.

Extending the life of a boat anchor

So since my EA82 turbo build languishes, and I had to remove the carby engine to allow for front end upgrades anyway. Also needed to address a leaking HG. I decided to sort out the worn rings and glazed bores issue. I went from this: http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/2015-03-28%201...

When I had the front calipers coated, I took the opportunity to get a few other things done in blaze blue. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150705_130937_zpsqfhvljus.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/20150705_141527_zps0dwk...

Bugger me mate!

Looks awesome! New hub and knuckle or powder coated?
Thanks Bennie, its taken me months to bring all this together.

If its not brand new, its been powder coated or zincplated. So no not new hubs or backing plates just spruced up.

Im chasing nico-leone from a long distance ;)

Front calipers had holes in the seals and pitted pistons. So since it was a tear down on these I had them powder coated. That was the affordable part. New pistons modified and new seal kit was the costly part of the excercise. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/Mobile%20Uploads/2015...

Thanks for looking Andy, was worth a try.

Was really hoping you would say Japan has just restocked its whole inventory on every MY and L series part ever produced :rolleyes:
