Front Coil
Springs |
|
|
| Coil springs were replaced
with new units, rubber pads were replaced. Coil springs were
glass-beaded and powder coated by Ottawa Powder. As a package they look
fantastic. Look at the original compared to the new spring package. They
look great and better than new.. |

| After a major struggle with the trunnions they were
finally but back together. Be careful with the units you buy, my
