Corvair Late Model Front Suspension Tips 

Loved the idea of making the spacers as to not distort the A-arms.

Most folk are clueless about the A-arms collapsing under the pressure of the press. Even an 1/8" makes re-installation a bugger. Try spreading those back out and you're in for a fight. Good tip.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank You for your video ! You have a lot of great ideas that need to be put into use when doing a front rebuild , I've one by myself ! & it is not easy ! Thanks again.

good tips. now I need a Corvair to work on.

Will you show a video of removal and reinstallation of these components?

👌

The bushings press in easier if they are put in the freezer for a few hours to shrink them.

Great video, Bill. You should add that those oddball 11/16-18 control rod nuts are impossible to find in a hardware store, I've been looking all over Los Angeles. DEFINITELY preorder 5 from Clark's: 4 in the car and one to slit and make a thread chaser.

I've seen other video showing more detail but the split pipe spacer for pressing isa bettrr idea that some have shown. But I have not seen any video of putting disc brakes on the front which would be a great update.

Hello from corvairwild!. Will I see you in Pittsburgh?

When GM puts their mind to it, they can build some great cars. The concept of an AIR COOLED car is phenomenal and GM did solve the differential problem. There exists aftermarket (bolt-on) rear sway bar suspension fixes for the Corvair as well. I wish GM would reintroduce this AiR COOLED car once again, but with modern engineering applications and design. To have one dangerous component removed - antifreeze - would win the hearts of GM customers.

Good job take a day off

Where did you get those spacers, or are they just cut out of steel pipe?

How much would this cost?

Will the front suspension support a v8.

You should of waited 1 more day you sounded and acted drunk didn’t learn anything from this
