Bushings, shocks and brakes
New rear shocks, renewed bushings, front drop links, brake lines, rotors and pads.
Read along.
0:00Rich is just buttoning up the suspension changes that we've been making on the 73 S.
0:08You can see new shocks, of course. We've changed bushings, changed brake lines.
0:17Rich is going through and just buttoning up little things. We did drop links, of course, up front.
0:25New rotors, new pads everywhere. We want this car to be 150 percent for the new
0:32customer and to perform the way it did coming out of the factory so that's what
0:40it's going to do.
Photographs from this film.
Looking up into the engine bay
Seen from underneath, the empty engine compartment reveals its depth and the space around the rear suspension.
Working underneath
With the car overhead, the underside is within reach for cleaning and close inspection.
Brakes and KONI Reds
A new front brake disc beside the refinished KONI strut housing—two parts of the chassis refresh.
The steering connection
The tie-rod end links the steering rack to the wheel’s steering arm. Its joint allows movement as the wheel steers and the suspension travels.
