= Suspension 3=

I tried rebuilding my suspension once before... it was a miserable failure.  It was functional, but it looked like crap AND the power steering stuff leaked horribly.  This time, I am assembling the power steering parts (drag link, control valve, slave cylinder, and valve-to-slave hoses) off the car and installing it as a unit.  It actually makes working on it much easier, and kinda looks cool too!  I also installed my idler arm... but there is NO clearance between the rubber boot and my header.  Check it out!!

Hoses installed... I hope they are right! Another view of hoses.
Slave, drag link, valve, and hoses together. Idler arm installed... little clearance

I did not take installed pictures... jsut use your imagination.

Conclusion

Everything is great... with the exception of the steering.  It is tight, but too stiff to turn the wheel. I have since learned that I may have tightened the centering spring too much.  That will be my first adjustment to get the situation fixed.
