Suspension overhaul Viking, UMI, MWC, Spohn, BMR. New pics!!
Replaced the following:
Inner and outer tie rods, hubs, k-member/a-arms, rear sway bar, trans mount, motor mounts, rear control arms, torque arm and cross member. Painted the knuckles with some POR-15. Car rides amazing, no more vibration above 70 mph. Alignment, instant center, thrust angle, pinion angle all look good.

UMI Kmbmer and Arms FBS002

Prothane Motor mounts 7-512
AC Delco 22174970 Transmission Mount

The MWC torque arm needs to be cut on the top where it mounts to the Dana S60 in order to fit correctly. Modification IS required. K-member fits amazing, so much more clearance.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the guys at MWC. I purchased 2 cross members from them because I wasn't sure which one would fit and they let me return the one that didn't fit free of charge, I just had to pay shipping.
