Tubular Front Suspension Install So Easy Even A Kid Can Do It 012
|
12 When installing a coil over front end, and eliminating the torsion bars, a support must be made for the coilover to mount to. Don't mount the coil over directly to the existing shock tower, as this area is not designed to support the weight of the car, and it will eventually fail. Here you can see the brackets and tubular structural support that are now welded in place to take the spring loads of the coil over shocks. These were engineered in-house by instructor, Bob Williams, at Jefferson High School’s fabrication shop, and were used to create jigs so CAP Auto Products can now sell duplicates to A-Body owners wishing to go the coilover route. Those retaining their torsion bars can ignore this altogether and simply get on with the job of bolting up the new K-member. View Related Article
