Bought from above the Polyurethane Kit for the front.. Pending Install.. NOT SURE if I will need a press or special tools..

No you dont need any special tools. They slip right in. Just use the special lubricant supplied by Topline.

Bought the Topline SB Swaybar.. Read something on the instructions about flipping it for a lowered car.. Also a little confused.. Worst case I call topline... Haven't gotten under the car in a while so not sure how the mount.. Are they clamped on.. of so was the kit suppose to come with clamps..(if I recall, they only came with bushings).. Can I get them at TOPLINE ?

I lowered my car 3" using the MAXX struts and topline swaybar.
I did not flip my swaybar. No need to. As far as installing the swaybar, you use your clamps that you already have. Just install the new bushings. Its pretty easy once you get under there

Also where can I buy top mount with Bearing for my TOPLINE MAXX Struts

I used my existing top mount that I pulled out of my car.
If you wanted to, I guess you could find a donor car to pull one out of.

While I am doing this will replace tie-rod ends.. Not sure where a good source is.. for quality at good price.. again.. figured somewhere like topline, CIP1, RockyMountain.. Suggested highly requested..

I ended up buying mine from the local Pep Boys.

Would like to clean up the A-Arms on the suspension and paint them.. Not sure what to use Paint.. or POR-15.. What are pros and cons of each.. (curious).. What type of Paint.. Companies..

I didnt clean mine up & I do regreat it. When I do my front brakes though, I am going to clean them & then send them to my powder coater I use here locally. Powder coating is not that expensive and it will hold up alot better then paint on suspension parts (or any part ofr that matter).


Can anyone think of anything else that may be required..
Steering Box rebuild.. While I am doing this replace Master Cylinder..


My box was in really good shape so I didnt mess with it.

Thanks IN Advance
Alex
