[QUOTE="GlipGlop, post: 1574779, member: 15223"] April 2022 (2 weeks before OSCAR) So I lied. To finish up the front axle before OSCAR I added some gussets to the spring perches where the Artec kit originally had sway bar connection points. This should help prevent the perches from deflecting/flattening out. [ATTACH type="full" width="636px"]215275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="637px"]215274[/ATTACH] I removed the recently added upper control link from the driver side and built a longer one on the passenger side, added some limiting straps to protect the shocks from being pulled apart. [ATTACH type="full" width="640px"]215276[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="640px"]215277[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="640px"]215278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="639px"]215279[/ATTACH] I replaced the drag link bracket at the axle. [ATTACH type="full" width="639px"]215280[/ATTACH] I swapped my steering from TREs to Heims and built some double sheer parts to add to the stock knuckles. I cut the old tie rod down and reused it as a the drag link to save on some tubing. [ATTACH type="full" width="643px"]215281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="647px"]215283[/ATTACH] Some scrap steel to determine thicknesses/orientation of the double sheer bracket.
