My front knuckles were so rusted that the ball joint pinch bolts snapped off in each one. I was pretty frustrated and over-excited to get them apart and messed them up even worse trying to extract the broken bolts. So I used that funds I would have spent on the adjustable lateral links on new front knuckles. With the new knuckles and wheel bearings in hand, I drove to my uncles shop where he pressed everything together for me.

When I got home, I just HAD to throw the front wheels on. In true The Fast and the Furious fashion, I did so without the brake rotors on because... you know....who needs those?

The rear hubs are cleaned up and painted. Ready to be taken to my uncles shop later to get assembled.

I put all new Whiteline bushings in the lateral links which are polyurethane. Notice that I also ground off the sway bar connection tabs. Those were driving me insane since they have no purpose on the 818.

Okay, so I guess I'll take the wheels off and put my brake rotors on. I picked up some slotted EBC rotors. I don't trust the drilled ones after seeing so many fail on the track.
