I stop by my friend Matt's house and we replaced the steering dampener on his 1996 Dodge Ram.

I stopped by my friend Matt's house last night and we replaced his front shock absorbers on his Dodge Ram Pickup. The actual procedure is fairly simple but we ran into some trouble due to rust.

I paint up the MG B's front cross member and disassemble the steering rack.

Previously I had cleaned up the MG Bs front shock absorbers, you can see that <a href="http://bit.ly/rdp6K">here</a>. Now I move on to the rears and clean them up, drain and refill the oil in them.

Still working on the MG's front suspension and steering. I pull apart the calipers and kingpins, but had to stop short since I was missing a socket big enough to remove the wheel bearings.

Trying to keep the project rolling forward, I'm just cleaning up and painting some more of the suspension

In this episode I take apart the MG's shocks, give them a good cleaning, some new oil and a paint job.

My dad norm helps me pull off the sway bar and tie rods on the MG B's front crossmember

The teardown is now all but complete. This week I pull off all the wheels and suspension.

With the gas tank off I figure it's a good time to swap out my other leaf spring.
