The mechanic who rebuilt my Series II a few years back informed me that the front suspension needs rebuilding. Having avoided most suspension work beyond replacing the shocks, I have now (perhaps foolishly) agreed that I will remove the front suspension, he will install the new bushings, etc., and I will re-install. Oh yeah, I have to buy the parts.
The first question is whether to remove the whole thing as a unit (front crossmember, etc.) or to break down each side and give him the parts? The unit approach has some appeal since there will be fewer bolts to unstick, however it looks to be pretty heavy and awkward to handle. I've looked at past threads here and seen both approaches - any suggestions?
Next question is where to get parts - Rick says he doesn't have much and can't get more, so my usual source is out. Has anybody bought parts lately? Also - are rebuild A-arms available?
Thanks
