I am trying to put my 91 V8Q 5-sp back on the road, after a few years of "storage" in the garage (waiting for a TB job, new fuel lines, new brake lines and a few other things).
The first challenge I'm facing is to move the car out of the garage so I can install a lift (a Father's Day present from my boys). The plan is to push the car out of the garage, install the lift, push the car back in and fix everything that needs to be fixed.
The front driver-side wheel bearing was seized, so I took the whole strut out and tried to install one from my 92 parts car (non-UFO). Something doesn't fit though, it looks like the driveshaft is too long, not letting the control arm to go in (about an inch missing). Is anyone familiar with UFO to non-UFO conversions to offer me some advice here? Thanks.
