Suspension Work

The front and rear suspensions were completely disassembled. All associated parts were restored to the same condition as when the car left the factory. Although a show car was not intended, all parts were provided the correct finishes.

The suspension work included new springs front and rear, replacement of all rubber bushings and insulators, restoration of shock absorbers, front lower control arms, rear radius rod, and front stabilizer. The rear axle bearings and seals were also failing and these were renewed.
