Default Superformance Repair in PDX....

Hey,

Anyone in the PDX area with an (early) SPF Cobra want to assist with some rear-suspension repair?

Recently I broke a rear suspension bolt on #408 (Forward, Outer, Lower control arm bolt broke) causing some suspension damage. Pics here. I'm pulling it apart and rebuilding basically the whole thing including new shocks and sway bars from Cobra Valley (thanks RT!).

Inspection also shows the old upper shock mount problem, as well as failed lower bushings in the rear shocks. On the other side I had a torn axle boot. All getting fixed (and safety wired in). If anyone has experience here, and would like to lend a hand, I would not turn down the offer of some advise to help get #408 back on the road.

This is NOT and SOS....the car is home, but outdoors (in a secure area on my property) as I don't have a shop to work on it (I store the car safely in a garage, but there is little room to do major work there). I am anxious to get it back and running as I know the nice weather cannot hold for much longer and I want to DRIVE IT!

I'm basically doing this blind, with what I've gleaned from the SCOF tech articles and this site. I think it's enough, but you never know what other jems of insight may be out there from folks who may have been through this effort before.

Thanks in advance,

Dan Martin
