Front suspension


Hi all

I have a type 3 baja project in the works. It has a ball joint front suspension that looks to have saged. I have serched but can find little information on reviving the suspension. Is it simple to rebuild the front bushes etc to get more travel in the suspension.
Also a link to a teck artical about installing adjusters would also be great.

Thanks Terry, you make it sound so easy. Are there any consumables in there I should replace while I have things in pieces.

not really
check your ball joints , brake lines ( not sure if you have to run longer ones or not )

but yeah just a good look at every thing there
then just adjust your rear up a couple of splines too
and your set
