Yellow ST202 ,original super strut, but very poor maintenance.
All ball joint are loose, front wheel bearing NG, and all super strut component are loose.
Today just finished rear side. I replace all 4 arms with solid rubber bushing type.
Tomorrow I will replace wheel bearing and super strut components.
did u get bushings from poland?
any ways. today is done, and this is left to tackle another day, between torches, and impact gun, and large bar

the rest will soak overnight in pb

Im 24 and Im sure it would be my dream lol. I love it and just getting another celica beater again too. Ive always loved the turbos, but they never come around. And I dont feel like shelling out the bucks to buy one though either just for a beater. There is 10 on craigslist right now for 1000-2000 depending on if you want the 1.8 or 2.2
I like the progress already. Keep it up!

so a pretty good weekend... because got stuff done, i dont recommend this by the average DIY, if you have no good tools you can be SOL...
for the arms, this was the problem... getting the rubber out was ok, but the metal sleeves were also frozen... so

basically i use a saw to cut inside and weaken the sleeve

and press it out.. i tried just pressing it out, but it was not working.. i kept slipping...

and here it is..

then i marked each piece so i remember where it goes. kinda braille (see those 2 dots)

at the end of the day, today, all pieces were ready for treatment... after fighting with the last frozen bolt in the spindle

in between, i took the chance to finish the seats in the rear... i dont reuse the hog pins, i keep very JDM, zip ties...


'
yes some pop corn is good.... and then after some scotch guard spray.. they look clean!! have to do the driver seat...

no rush to work on the suspension, as the bolts have not even shipped yet.....
at the end of the day, damage to the press...

Wow. What size socket did you use to press out the sleeve?
And how did you damage the press like that?
~bloodMoney
lol, it was a 24 mm, i should have used a 25 mm or 26mm. I just opted not to get one. (i should have) . The press is a harbor freight press, and their reviews are bad in a way, i guess i expected for it to happen. But not that fast. the damage happened before i figured out to cut the sleeves, then heat them and press them.
I tried to press the sleeves from the get go, and it was not possible, they were seized so bad, i guess too many winters...
its been 1 1/2 week donwtime, since weather, work and waiting for parts. I should have planned this different, but i have a daily driver.... and the vert still drivable, although missing most of the interior now.

thank you Cam!
how many washers of each though?! (being lazy)

about 4 per bolt, but if you are careful, you can reuse the ones you had.
the 90901-09001 will usually not be damaged and is the most expensive one.. its usually never rusted...
i ordered..
90901-19001 holds the spindle to the control arms..
90119-12131 for the lateral arms..
