Did some normal, pre-racing maintenance to the front end.
Replaced both A-arms with new ones (plus that lower trunion-threaded pin).
Also all new plastic suspension bushings, new brake rotors and new brake pads.
King pins and tie-rods ends are still OK. Wheel bearings are still good (new from last Fall.....just torqued them back up to 40 ft. lbs)
I did new pistons, rings and rod bearings a few weeks back. Also took about 0.010" off the head to clean it up and installed all new valves. Naturally all oil and filters and other fluids changed too.
Car should now be ready for ~Jefferson 500~ next weekend.
