- Why should it be necessary to torque the V8's at ride height? Won't the steel sleeve rotate on the bolt? Bill half /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net

- Correctly installed the steel sleeve is designed to seize in place. The outer rubber seizes to the arm. All movement is in the rubber torsion. Very, very important. This is the way all rubber type b

- Thanks to everyone who offered advice regarding my front end rebuild. It sounds like the general consensus is that the V-8 bushings are the best all around bet. As for the kingpins, at least one side
