I want(need) to overhaul the front susp on my TR3. First, I'm very uncomfortable with dealing with the spring removal,so will probably have work done by shop. Problem... I want to have the pieces powder coated while disassembled. No shop is going to tie up a rack (or space) for three weeks while the parts get stripped and coated. One solution I've come up with is to buy complete used susp knee for both sides, disassemble, coat and have ready to take "installable" ( is that a word) parts to the shop. Not fond of the idea of buying parts I don't need to accomplish this.
questions
any input or thoughts?
How much re-assembley could I do prior to taking susp parts to shop, as far as assebling control arms, knucle, trunion and ball joints,without creating problems for their installation?
I had a spring compressor start to crack with a loaded spring in it once. I was able to get the load off before it broke but I was younger and I don't think my heart can go that fast now.
