The old Mans 57 Chevy Wagon gets NEW FRONT SUSPENSION - coil overs and tubular control arms

This video we install some QA1 coil overs and some cheapy tubular Control arms on my old mans 1957 chevy wagon, it’s always awesome getting to work in the shop with my dad and getting his ride closer to being back on the road.

Not saying it’s the right way or the wrong way, its just the way I do it!

Always a good day when you get to work on the car with your dad 😊 never too old to build those memories and bonding time. My dad is getting close to 80 so doesn’t happen as often as it once did

[@TuquesNTires]

That’s right! Never to old to build memories.

Your car is looking nice I had a question on the upper control arms where it bolts to the frame did you use the original nut and bolts Mine did not come with them for the uppers Thanks in advance

[@TuquesNTires]

Thanks! I don’t think ours came with any either, I’m pretty sure we used 7/16 grade 8 bolts and locking nuts, I just can’t remember the length of the bolts.

were you able to get the front end Alignment with the cheap A arms my E bay A arms one new upper ball joint was junk to big I brought a new took my 55 Chevy belair for front end Alignment it couldn't be done the cross shaft are wrong to much material can't set alignment right

[@TuquesNTires]

@@55chevyman4u2nv oh thats really weird, we didn’t have any problems doing our alignment, but I guess every frame could be alittle different I guess.

[@themanforthejob7951]

Hey I got another quick question I am installing all of my front end suspension today and I have the same issue with upper bump stop barley touches before a arm touches What did you use as a spacer

[@TuquesNTires]

We haven’t done it yet but we plan on making a bracket that will be on the frame so the bump stop will hit it.

[@themanforthejob7951]

Ok thank you
Maybe just tack welding a thick piece of metal there or something

[@TuquesNTires]

@@themanforthejob7951 no problem! Yeah that would probably do the trick!
