Finally got around to sandblasting all the parts from the front axle (well... the driver side front axle at least). Got everything coated yesterday, and today (after some fun in the Fcar), got everything put back together.

Wheel bearing assembled.

Upper and lower A-arms re-finished, poly bushings installed, new ball joints, progressive rate lowering springs, and adjustable rate hydro shocks.

And the rotors installed. Went to go do the calipers too, but my EBC Greens are too thick so I have to call EBC and see if they sent me the wrong ones.

Almost 1/4 of the way done.

Do you have a sandblaster at your house? Or a shop?

Either way, nice looking work!

Nice!

Careful with those ebc rotors though. I did their drilled/slotted rotors and greenies, they called for hard break in procedure. 25mph slam on the brakes X number of times... Warped the hell out of them. Slow break in works way better.

either way nice work, looking awesome

Nice job. I just replaced the passenger rear wheel bear and ball joint on the MR2 yesterday and really wish I could have done this. The mid-atlantic winter was not nice to my control arms :( I’d like to sandblast and powdercoat them but I might settle for some rust proofing roll on paint as it will be easiest.

Do you have a sandblasting booth?

A small parts one, yes.
