Front suspension tutorial | The De Tomaso Forums

Where can I find a tutorial or video on how to dismantle the front suspension on my 72 Pantera? Would like to see how it is done before I get to it. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I am going to update/replace the bushings and ball joints in the whole suspension. I have no video of the process. But isn't hard at all. Disconnect the brake calipers using wire to hold them up so they don't hang by the lines. Remove the hubs and then there are 4 nuts. 2 upper and 2 lower for the A-arms. You will also need to disconnect the steering rack ball joints. There are some older posts that show what needs to be done. Also, the web page of "The Pantera Place" has a wealth of information.
