Reviving KP30: Handling Pt 1

For the handling, im not gonna jump to adjustables or higher spring rates suspension setup. Im trying my best to set her back to stock handling form. By doing this, later on I will know her handling characteristics and able to think which setup is the best and suits me better according to my driving style.

Here are the early actions I did today, for the tear & wear issue which cause her to shake horribly, I change some parts & she does show some improvement but not fully solve! here are some shots;

replace the idler arm

worn idler arm-the steering does turn but the free play is too dangerous...I have to counter-steering even when I drive straight!

worn inner & outer hub bearings

new hub bearings

bearing seals-no more uneven wheel rotation & excessive vibrations...it was damn scary to drive this car before!

adjusted the brakes-previous owner sets the drum brakes too hard, I cant even squeeze the brakes. Now it feels much better :)

Next im gonna change the control arm and hope that will solves the steering free play issue, when its done then ill go for the springs & shocks with new sets of bushings :)
