In this episode, I did a teardown of all the suspension and brake components on the undercarriage. This is the first step in getting this car ready to be tipped over on its side for an undercarriage restoration.

Overall the car was in surprisingly good condition, I didn't find one seized bolt on the car. This being my first teardown, it was quite a learning experience, and I even had to buy some "specialty" tools like a ball joint separator.

I tried to document the process as best I could for audience experience, but mostly so I can look back at this video when I have to put the car back together.

Let me know what you think.
