3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

[SNCTMPL]

I would follow the FSM.

Ahh, yes. That would make a lot more sense. I already did back to front. Does it make a difference? Just makes for easier adjustments?

The FSM says the upper arm hardware should go from the inside out - front bolt is back to front & rear bolt is front to back.

I doubt it makes a difference, my brain says if a nut falls off while going down the road, bolt won’t slide out the back but vibrations and resonance will make loose stuff do whatever it wants anyway.

I originally put them in the way I did (like you mentioned) because I thought the threads would be less likely to get covered in road grime, water, etc. that was kicked up while driving.

I see what you are saying though and appreciate your reasoning.

Sometimes I feel like I over-think/complicate things. Just want to make sure I get it done right. Thankful to have all the folks in this thread to help me out.

I feel that.

Definitely a good group of folks ‘round here.

Scored an OEM 88-93 grille/filler panel tonight along with the seats. Seats are for the ‘94. The grille is near mint - a couple of small spots are bubbling.

As a fan of truck parts in places they're not supposed to be, this rules. Well done.

Thanks! My dad and I have used this for years. We also have an old General Motors fridge that is used for parts storage.

Good to see the proper respect for those parts. Not like you’d have used a Philco.
