January 19, 200422 yr comment_4004 Ben: Can't possibly have been more difficult than mine :D well when you put it that way...mine looks easy...lol I'll sort something out...even if it means getting different calipers. If it comes to that I'm tempted to try and use VN-VR rear calipers....g0t stopping power!? Report
January 22, 200422 yr Author comment_4183 Did someone say nolathane? :D Front end swaybar bushes have been purchased Second question, is graphite grease necessary for the 2 main bushes? Report
January 23, 200422 yr comment_4215 What are those babys worth? My front ends looser than an old screen door. In fact every end is pretty loose. Any places that sell em cheap too? Report
January 23, 200422 yr Author comment_4217 Well i got those 2 packets plus a bottle of oil for $50, so they are cheap, must be about $30 for what you see above. Just bought the new struts, $250 for the front set from Pedders Just a note for KE70 owners wishing to purchase new struts, be aware there are 2 sizes, a 45mm and a 50mm, they are both the same price but its a nightmare going to purchase them when you don't know the size. ( Size is the diameter of the suspension unit, not the strut insert ). Report
January 23, 200422 yr Author comment_4233 As of just before the standard swaybar has been cleaned up and undercoated, as well as the 2 parts of the suspension unit. Report
January 24, 200422 yr comment_4287 What are those babys worth? My front ends looser than an old screen door. In fact every end is pretty loose. Any places that sell em cheap too? Might I suggest New Shock Absorbers + Low (Not SUperlow) Springs as well ? :D Why hallo thar! Boing Report
