I even took on the task of “rebuilding” and detailing the calipers, which, after a bath in Evaporust, turning out looking pretty good!!

One thing that was brought to my attention about the lower control arms was that they might not have a “bump stop” to prevent the steering from going too far. After bolting everything up, that was exactly the case!! When moving the wheel to full lock, the tire would hit the frame!! I called Global West and was told that, sure, I could just drill and tap the lower arm to accept some sort of stop!! Since I really didn’t want to do that, I asked my neighbor for some help. We came up with the solution of drilling and tapping the steering arm instead and it worked perfectly.
