A Arms are already installed ( never removed)
I was thinking ...???

1- ABS sensors on Spindles
2- Spindles
3- Tie Rods ( connect to Spindles )
4- Brake Disc Shield Plates
5- Struts ( connect to spindle )
6- Bearings and Hubs
7- Brake Rotors
8- Brake Calipers
9- Brake lines and ABS connected
10-Sway Bars

Please give me your take on this...

Thanks in advance guys
Regards

You cant look at the other side?

Crazy Eddie

Other side of what?
The entire front is off with the exception of the A Arms and Steering rack ?

I believe the way I did it was:

1 - Install control arms (You, of course, don't have to)
2 - Install spindle onto control arm
3 - Install strut and attach to spindle
4 - Attach tie rods to strut
5 - Install brake shield
6 - Install hub, set front wheel bearings to spec
7 - Install brake disc
8 - Install caliper
9 - Connect brake lines and install ABS sensor
10 - Connect sway bar

If you like you can give me a call and we can talk about it over the phone.

Good luck!

Crazy Eddie

Hey Darwin
I thought so ...
It's going,.... but slowly. I think I took the MAF off no less than 15 times The manifold 5 times
The modified turbo Y water pipe 20 times
Yada Yada Yada ...
LOL ......

You got the repeat part down ... that's for sure

Crazy Eddie

Hey Jason
Did you have any issues with the powder coating the hubs and spindles ( with the ABS )? There seems to a number of ground contacts that may have issues with painting them ( which I did as well )
Regards
Ed

I knew I could get a laugh this morning! Thanks Tom!

Ed, most of us go through a fire drill much like Tom describes in his service manual addendum. Hopefully yours will go together without fanfare.
