    Front suspension sequence 73

    Hi all,

    I am reinstalling the front end of my car. I am looking to install;

    Assembled A arms, Struts and front discs
    Torsion bars
    Brake master cylinder
    Brake lines
    Steering Rack including support


    Is there a sequence to instal that is best? Thanks....

    The first question is who took it apart? The obvious thing is discs and lines last. T bars and A arms first then struts. Other than alignment it's pretty much straightforward.

    Thanks - I took it apart. But that isn’t necessarily the best in reverse

    I bench built my entire front strut assemblies discs and all and found that the easiest way. When installing the master and brake lines, it’s very helpful to have an assistant in the drivers compartment to push downward on the lines from the fluid reservoir.
