6/30/07-Random Chores

I installed the new Detroit Speed sway bar on the front of the Nova. If I had been thinking, I would have installed it when I was putting the A-arms back on the car. It took a lot of manuevering to get it into place. The trick was to leave the plastic on the sway bar to keep from scratching any paint. Then with both front wheels removed and the rotor removed from the passenger side, I threaded the sway bar through the A-arms and the subframe. I had to remove the shock from the driver's side as well as the spring bumper on the lower A-arm. Finally, I carefully spread one of the coils apart on the driver's side spring and the sway bar slid right through it. Whew! It wasn't supposed to be that hard! Here are a couple of pics:

In the picture above, you can see the shipping plastic still on the sway bar to protect the frame and the sway bar from scratches. The plastic was pulled off once everything was in place.

The next step is to figure out how to get this C5 Corvette booster mounted to the firewall. It's not as easy as it looks!
