The welder left a little while ago. I'm wondering about the best order for re-assembly. I took it apart, but am unsure about the best order for re-assembly. Fire away at me as I want the easiest way possible. Very warm in my garage!</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">1) Upper fulcrum pins and upper control arms are already in</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">2) Re-attach hub/brake/vertical link/trunnion/ball joint assembly to upper control arms.

I don't have a hoist, but I could put the car on 4 ramps to gain access for this part of the job.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thank you very much</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Bruce Simms 73 TR6</div></div></body></html>
