The rebuild should include the radius rod mounts with sleeves and if needed
the lower control arm mounts. Don't be too surprised if you wind the radius
rods badly worn and the frame holes rusted or damaged to the point of
needing welding repair.

Subject: Front Suspension


This weekend I'm am going to rebuild the front suspension on my 91 2wd.
I've been soaking the components in penetrating oil for two (2) weeks.
Hopefully there won't be too much swearing and alcohol involved.  I've
reviewed  Bentley over and over so I think I'm ready, however, what I can't
find is what holds the speedometer cable into the left steering knuckle.






Can anyone lend guidance on how to remove the cable without FUBAR'ing it?
Any other words of wisdom/experience will be most appreciated as well.
