My suspension rebuild

So far its been hell for me.. I got recommended to this guy for powder coating.. this guy who recommended me is a really good guy and i trust him to the fullest.. well.. lets just say the guy who powder coated is a real hand job.. I wanted fluresent colors.. and look what i got.. and you can see on the lower a-arm there is one sopt not even coated!..

and thats not even up close.. on all the parts they are just really bad.. spots on the knuckle not even coated.. and the upper arm the same.. i had the parts sitting for two days and they rusted up like a bastard..

So i had to spend now even more money to get these parts powder coated.. i figured if im doing them myself i should spoil and do the springs and backin plate as well..


and now here they are primerd


I have some of the parts painted but ill show you guys pics when im done painting everything.. now this os only for one side if your wondering why there is only one side being done.. im only doing one side out a time..

Hope you enjoy some of the thread.. more to be posted as i go.. thank for looking!

I cant wait till its being put together.. im putting in the bushings hopefully tomorrow..

Wow glow in the dark suspension parts.That old saying about doing it yourself if you want it
right sure does ring true right now.Best of luck and I want to see pics of that front end assembled.

Now thats funny right there,.

gotta say tho if i was wanting to keep a low profile,. not so sure i,d dayglo powdercoat my suspensions pieces,.
are you going to mount a black light somewhere down low to get the parts to really stand out at night?

Sure is

Just put the kncukle in to see what it would look like.. putting in the spring in tonight and hopefully have it all together..

You painted the seal surface on the spindle. I hope you can get it off, or you are going to have a grease leak.

Spring is in!

Horribale pic but looks good..

Those calipers look so.... pedestrian.

That is really obnoxious.

You definitely need to mount UV lights in your wheel wells.

Its deffinalty not show car material.. its all dirty for all the dirt around the frame and plus chips in it from the srping compressor and just bangin the parts around on the frame.. but im still puttin that Black Light under there..

Well the job is done guys.. no pics tho.. my camra broke :-/ but the culprit of my death wobble was my tie rod ends.. they was flopping around like a dogs lips hanging out the window.. but it looks very bright under the wagon now.. very happy with what i have done.. bad thing is its not gonna last forever.. deffinartly not "show car" material.. but it rides much much better.. feels like a better cloud then before.. when i get a camra tho it will be posted up a.s.a.p!..
