@@AlfsMustangGarage Completely restoring a 66 coupe! Just finishing the front end so I can paint the fire wall and get ready for the new engine! This is my first suspension rebuild but you make it easy! I'm going to put a new gear box and steering shaft in it Monday. No sure how to get the new one in but Ill pray it goes in easy!
@user-yn5kb7ep2l oh awesome! Lol so the next video in this series that I'm working on is installing the steering gear. We did the Borgeson power steering unit on this car, but ya that video I should have coming out next week.
Alf thanks again. went and check my washers on my car and realised they are on wrong way around. Would they all be the same no matter who made the washer set up. Love your work
I never got a notification for this video. And I'm still subscribed. 🤔. Odd. Glad I found it. I'm following this build. Will you eventually be doing a front end alignment also? I need to do one on my 68. Get it as close as I can in my garage.
Oh weird. Did you click on the notification bell to make sure it's turned on? Yes, we will get this car aligned but we actually have a guy we take it to for that sort of thing.
@AlfsMustangGarage yeah, I made sure nothing changed. It's all the same as it has been. I was hoping you had a way of a DIY way to do a basic alignment for the at home mechanics. Enough to get us started till it can go to a alignment shop. My 68 is undriveable at the moment due to a horrible alignment.
@hughphillips67Mustang ya sorry, I wish I had some tricks but ours is to eyeball it close enough and let the professional take it from there. Just just don't take it to a shop that does modern cars. I have an older man who does old cars on the side and is very good at what he does. We just tow truck them over and then drive them back.
@AlfsMustangGarage I can do that. I could tow it with my dually and enclosed trailer. 🙄. See, that's why I like you. Your so smart. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Lol
They are a solid shaft so they typically don't go bad unless the threads have rusted out under the bushings. So remove the bushings to inspect under that and see what they look like.
Your videos have been a great help on my 67 convertible that had sat 30 years in a machine shed. Keep the videos coming.
Oh awesome! Glad to hear these are helpful!
Thank Alf for taking time to show us how its done. My project is coming along very well!
Oh awesome! You're very welcome! What is your project?

Oh ya I think they are all the same, but it probably doesn't matter too much as long as they are tight.

Quick question how would you be able to tell if your strut rods have gone bad
They are a solid shaft so they typically don't go bad unless the threads have rusted out under the bushings. So remove the bushings to inspect under that and see what they look like.
Hello Alf, thanks for the video .....the bushings/washers look like the Moog K8122 kit, is that correct?
This is actually the ACP bushing kit but I'm assuming Moog also makes their own version.
Cool, my washers are reversed. :)
🤣🤣🤣 it probably doesn't matter too much as long as they are good-n-tite
