A year or so ago, I recall finding SM suspension installation intructions with pictures. I think it was under the specmiata.com FAQ section:

http://www.specmiata...s_id=15&q_id=86

Now, all those links seem to be invalid - i can't click on them - nothing happens.

Have all the suspension installation intructions that were under this FAQ section been deleted?

thanks

Looks like all those links were to Bruce Wilson's web site (www.wilzone.com). It looks like Bruce revamped his site in February, which might be when the links died.

Those photos were out-dated since they didn't address any of the new 99 shock hat and Fat Cat Bump stops. We need a new set of photos. I'll host if anyone wants to share.

I have an opinion so I must be right

I'm not sure what you are looking for but the Fat Cat installation instructions are good and include pictures. Fat Cat

I have the FCM bump stop PDF. I was looking for the pictures of removing the upper A-arm bolt etc (i've never done suspension work). They used to be available.

2 21mm wrenches, HOPE its not frozen in place. It draws to the front through the sway bar bracket. Just remember when reinstalling that the bolt gets tightened with a LOAD on the suspension. You can put a jack under the LCA and lift the car just off the supports and tighten.

Rear is even easier but same rule applies when reinstalling.

That is what I thought. Thanks a lot.
