I also replaced all the steering ball joints and snugged up the steering box.
I also replaced the trunnion springs (sorry no pics yet), but I had noticed there was a lot of play in the shift linkage ball joint so i replaced that one too. I wanted to do the one up front but it seemed tight so I left it.
now, I'm stripping it down for paint. I'm hoping to finish buttoning it up by the end of october, so I can then get to work on the QA-42 for wintertime!
there are other parts of the project i don't have pics of yet, but if I can sneak out during nap times, I'll try to snap some more.
