The 1st thing I did was clean the area around the Lower Control Arm eccentrics and stuck some tape on the frame. then I marked a line on the tape to line up the center line on the eccentric.
I read this thread a few week's ago and thought I had it all straight in my head.
Cutting the sleeves. Was it just the front's? Was it just the rears? Was it ALL of them?
The info is in there, but it's not all on the same post by Cal LOD.
So I thought I'd give some cutting options with pix's.
Everyone likes pix's.
First I measured the sleeves and made a mark with a Sharpie marker of a 1/4in.
Next I wrapped some 3/4in tape around the sleeves. This helps you to get a straight line around the tube.
The tape was then removed. If you cut the sleeve with the tape on it, it will melt the glue of the tape and will need to be cleaned with something like Laq thinner to get the glue off, so go ahead and remove the tape after the line is drawn.
The 1st choice was to use the Die Grinder with a Wiz wheel in it.
Then after I cut one of them I remembered another tool I have that I don't use very much.
Chop Saw.
You could use a hacksaw.
To slow! But the other thing is that you will need to clamp it in the vise and with a Hacksaw it will need to be pretty snug, which will deform the sleeve.
Then on to deburring the sleeves.
I got the left front about done today. I say about, because I'm doing more than a suspension change.
The car is getting:
Upper control arms
Lower control arms
Front & Rear Strut Rod bushings
Sway Bar links
New hubs
New cross drilled Rotors [Power Stop]
New EBC Green Brake pads I have these on my '94 F-150. I'm very pleased. Better stopping over Semi Metallic and aprox 1/4 of the dust.
New Braided Flex hoses
And the calipers are getting painted Red
What I found Bad on the left side.
Upper Control arm bushings were sloppy - ball joint was OK
Lower Control arm Ball joint Bad - Bushings were OK
Sway bar link lower ball joint Bad - Upper was OK, but boot was shot.
Strut Rod bushings were weak at the front and shot at the Lower Control arm.

All the suspension parts are Moog. The sway bar links have zerk fittings in them. I with the Upper & Lower Ball joints had zerk fittings too.
