Recent Wagon Work

Over this week, we've been getting a lot done with the Ford! Javi and I(torque team) took the time to torque down what is already hooked up in the front suspension. 

Today we put on the front shock absorbers, it was a little tricky to get the bottom two bolts to line up so it took some time to bend it around but we finally got them both in.

After the shocks, we connected the sway bar and torqued that down as well.

Finally before the bell rang, we started putting on the backing plate. Unfortunately I stripped one of the screws. The torque specs called for it to be torqued between 25 to 45 ft-lbs, so I was torquing it down to 30 ft-lbs and the one that my hand is on in the picture just snapped. The screw got stuck in there but I'm determined to get it out!
