upper ball joints just arrived along with radius arm bushings...I am goinG to 'clock' the pressed in section slightly to give a small amount of positive caster when I add camber.....got a seat today as well
also got a 'new to me' rad...it s from a nissan sentra spec -v but the dimensions are the same just need a custom (read-find one out in the yard) upper hose as the top hose position is off a couple inches
figured while I was playing with the rad I might as well put in the cooler t-stat and fan switch.....got the clutch slave on the bench-tomorrows project-pull out the dampening valve

rad is in!...perfect size...lower locating pins off about an inch...a little zip disc work on the lower tie bar and it fits in snug..."custom" rad hoses needed...2009 chevy malibu hoses fit nice with a little trimming...needed to use the nissan fan (removed 1-just running a single)
threw in the plug I picked up while I was at it.
Clutch dampener and check valve removed...just need to bleed it out fully and then on to other projects
yesterdays suspension project complete as well...glad I yanked it all apart, right lower ball joint was completely toast, torn boot from who knows when was probably the culprit
