More Suspension Component Painting

Early this week I worked on stripping and repainting the lower control arms and adjustable strut bars. These are more of the components from my bulk part purchase. They are new just like the other parts but were just tossed around a little and scratched up. I painted them with Eastwood Chassis Black to match all the other components.

If you are not familiar, the stock strut bars on a '67 Mustang are straight bars with threads on one end. One side connects to the two bolt holes in the lower control arm. The threaded end is mounted to the front frame of the vehicle using a bushing between two washers and nuts. The strut bar is suppose to locate the lower control arm but still allow up and down movement. The adjustable strut bars better locate the lower control arm as there is no bushing to flex. Additionally, the heim joint allows for much lower resistance in allowing upward travel.

I've included a few pictures of the parts below.
