I need to read the instructions

ok, burning out the bushing is in the instructions.I am learning.

Gil (and the instructions) said
1-the metal sleeve is a part of the lower A arm,,,it should of stayed there...he said tack weld it.
Gil said:
2- dont use neg camber..thats for sport spring only.

3- moving perch will affect ride height ,but not not enough to select the neg camber position of the upper ball joint.

problems i ran into:
i was short a spring eye pair, even tho 2 members on the site (svopel and tking) had sent me spares thru rush mail.(thanks for trying) ..but they were for sport springs which will not interchange with a reg spring eye..sport spring has a smaller eye...so we used tr6 rubber bushings...1/2 on each side for balance...had to improvise a bit as its all apart in a shop .

i filmed what i could and I hope to get I can get back for the reassembly...passenger side upper ball joint was rusted and loose..even rattled...old spring eyes bushings were oval and split..i cant believe how much better this car is going to be...
