Rear Suspension

Today I was able to finish installing the rearend and suspension on to the frame.

Heres a pic of the rubber insulators that were installed on top of the coil springs.  They are used to cut down on squeaking springs when hitting bumps.

 

 Here is some pics of everything all bolted up.  The bolts on the Lower Trailing arms and the upper control arms were not tightened and torqued because they need to be loaded with the full vehicles weight before they are to be torqued up.  so I made a note that these will need to be torqued after the car is all back together.

The UMI suspension kit that I got has a rear sway bar that was not in the original chevelle suspension.  This will hopefully hold the rear end and body to the road when cornering.

I also took this time to fill the rear end up with some oil.  I used some 80w-90 gear oil along with the Limited Slip additive needed for my posi unit.

It's starting to look like a rolling frame again.  Next is fuel and brake lines
