Finally getting around to posting a picture of the last big job I did on the 1800. New springs and shocks for the front of the car to end the hobby horsing I was getting over bumps at speed. It's all gone now, front is tight and no more bounce. The rear springs and shocks which are way easier to do were done last year along with the limiting straps. The hard part about the fronts is that they are under pressure and to get them out you have to let the lower A arm swing down out of the way. this worked fine, but putting the new springs back in was not so easy as taking the old out.
The upper and lower ball joints all appeared to be in good health so I dodge that bullet for the time being. I think the PO had them changed out in the last 10 years so they were still in good shape as the mileage was and still is very low on this car.
Specs are as follows: Stock height springs, and KYB Gas-a-just shocks
Here is a picture of the passenger side, you can also see the new end links from the last project, I had to take those out again as they were connected to the lower A arm as well.
