RustOLeum professional rattle can from Lowes or Home Depot.
Gloss black and stainless for the strut and brake stuff.
Springs are RustOLeum farm equipment John Deere green.

I'm doing the rear stuff now.
Darn you spindle pins!!!! :evil:
I ended up just cutting the pins through the openings between the arm and knuckle.
The pins laugh at my 12 ton press so it's off the the machine shop.

Do you have acetylene torches? Also, do you have an extra control arm bracket? The rear small bracket. [u] I have some one who needs, and I can't find.

No acetylene just propane.
I may have an extra bracket I'll check my parts boxes.

Here's an update on the rear stuff.
I couldn't just leave the rear diff looking bad.

I'm just doing this for myself but if you are really interested I could do yours too.
What do you want done?

I have just started doing mine with the help of a friend. Slow start just have the front apart now. Hoping mine comes out nice as yours as I am not that mechanically inclined.

I didn't do as much on the front as you can see.
The only reason I went this far is that spindle pin.
I'm sure yours will come out nice.
One thing I do advise is either media blast or Eastwood (or POR15) rust treatment stuff.
You don't have to be that inclined.
Just think of it as a big puzzle and get yourself a shop manual.

I also took the diff strap brackets/bushings out and had them blasted. Unfortunately they were so badly rusted there wasn't much metal left. I had some friends at a machine shop make me new brackets and bushings out of thick stainless. This is one part that will never need replacing again unless I go with one of the modified unit's that are for sale. The Nissan engineers IMO just threw a quick fix on a problem in movement of the diff with torque energy. Really, a strap?

I was able to get all rubber replacements for the rear including the mustache bar.
I don't think I had to use polyurethane for anything yet.

I ended up using poly as you can see.
I tried getting the outboard bushings in but ended up destroying one.
So instead of ruining parts poly was easier.
I have new factory rubber for the four inboards and three outboards as well as the moustache bar that I'm not going to use.
