Re: IML: 68 front suspenion

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

If you don't know of one already, I recommend that you find a good 
front end shop who is familiar with the design of your car, and can 
work it all out. Having old Imperials makes this imperative.

Not all front end shops are equal. A few are great and others are down 
right bad. I found ****A**** good one here, and have been getting as 
much work done as I can before they either retire or sell the business. 
They are younger than I am, and they like taking my money. If that 
keeps them around a while longer, I am all for it. If you live near 
Seattle, let me know off list and I will share.

Subject: IML: 68 front suspenion

Hi all.
5 years ago I rebuilt my 68 Imperial from the ground up and I have been 
having a problem with front end ever since.
When I hit a bump in the road the front end bottoms out and hits the 
frame.
I had a guy at a local repair shop tell me that when I had the lower 
control arms rebuilt that they must have put the adjusting cams back on 
in the wrong spot .
And that is why I am having this problem I have the adjusting bolts on 
both sides all adjusted all the way up.
Also I have a lot of play in the steering I have replaced the power 
box-upper and lower ball joints-outer tie rods-all the bushings-idler 
arm-shocks-.
I am planning to drive out to Arizona this summer to see my future 
wife's daughter and try to meet some of the people on the list that 
live out there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Bob
