Pretty cool to get the first parts going on the car. I haven't torqued everything down yet but making sure I get this right.

DS: Things went together well I think, the lower castle nut advice from WarEagleScott was helpful (thanks). The upper castle nut seems to be able to tighten up well past the cotter pin point, so wonder if a spacer is needed there? I am using the standard Mevotech ball joint.


PS: I have a curious gap on the front side, I haven't really wrenched hard on it, but curious if I should expect to close this gap with torque or spacer and if I need to worry angles of the arms?


For the IRS prep... So the manual says to sawzall a big chunk off my rear spindles. Really?

And then the manual says to hammer out the wheel studs, but I haven't found the replacement wheel studs, did I miss them in my inventory?

Thanks all
