No anti-squeak pads on the spring perch? Most come new with rubber pads that attach using holes in the perch. I've seen those break and seem worthless these days. Poor rubber. I use fender mounting anti-squeak (used on older cars and trucks) and is the same material I've made the shock-tower brace hose hangers from and glue it in the same places where the rubber normally is. That'll never wear out. I'll send you over a enough to make pads. Clean the surfaces good and use the 3M weatherstrip adhesive and glue them on. I'll try to get it in the mail tomorrow.

Cool thanks, I also found out my perches are in backwards so I need to flip those around as well.

You should also see a little while buble envelope from me with some webbing material to glue onto the perches. I sent it to the shop.

Well finally got out in the shop and put the delivery back together.
Got the new springs in, flipped around the spring rocker so it's incorrect and did the UCA drop. Sat her on the ground and she looks great.
It's raining here so me test drive today but I think she'll be great. Roger thanks for the insulater material.

Ok it's Friday and I just got back from the alignment shop. It was a long two week wait but it's done.
What a difference UCA drop new coil springs (480lb) and new adjustable strut arms and bushings new alignment. She almost handles like a sports car. No more wandering no more OMG moments. I'm happy, let the sow season begin!!!!
