I bought and installed the MBM front disc brake kit. The install went fairly simple and I had no leftover parts.
The problem is the outer brake pads have a little play inside the caliper. They move about a quarter of an inch. When I apply the brakes while driving I can sometimes hear it shift...
I lowered it by the torsion. After lowering it I decided to rebuild the front end and do a disc brake swap.
After alignment and everything settling I noticed that the lower control arm bump stop is a hair or two away from bottoming out. Looks like I'm going have to raise it a couple inches...
I'll finish with the front suspension rebuild/disc brake swap tomorrow.
What order do I need to do to finish it up?
-Hit all the fittings with grease
-Snug all the nuts
-Drop the car to the ground
-Torque the nuts
-Put the lock pins in
Does this sound right?

I have my upper control arms off and new stock bushings to put in that I received with the classic industries front end rebuild kit. I'm not road racing or drag racing, it's just a fun car to drive once in awhile.
Is there any reason to upgrade to QA1's? What's the pros/cons...
So I was told by a guy at an alignment shop that I need to adjust my torsion bars first to get the height I want.
Next adjust camber with the cam bolt near the rear of the front tire to get it where I want.
Last adjust the cam bolt in front of the front tire to get the tire toed even.
Does...

When I pull into a driveway with a higher elevation like most driveways in subdivisions where you have a sidewalk, I pull in at an angle most times which causes the suspension to extend out usually. After I notice the wheels toe in. If I drive a mile or so they level back out...

I need the part number for the rubber hose that goes from the steel line to the block mounted on top of the rear diff. Exhaust burnt a hole through the one on there.
