Concerned about a loud squeaking and clunking noise on her 1965 Chevy Nova, Kim was referred to B&W Service Center. After a thorough inspection of the suspension and brake systems, our team recommended an upgrade to both systems
Suspension System
To improve the handling of the vehicle, we installed a suspension and steering upgrade kit, which included:
- Front and rear suspension bushings
- Tie rods inner tie rod and outer tie rod ends
- Upper and lower ball joints
- Front coil springs
- Rear leaf spring bushings
- Coil springs saddles and bushings
- Connecting sleeves
- Upper and lower control arms
- Upper and lower control arm bushings
- Idler and pitman arm
- Rear shackle bushings
- 4 wheel alignment
Brake System
Upon the completion of the suspensions upgrade, Kim consulted our team regarding the conversion of the brake system from drum to disc. B&W recommended and performed the installation of the SSBS Disc Brake Conversion Kit. The upgrade included:
- Front rotors, wheel seals, spindle, calipers, brake hoses and brake pads
- Inner and outer wheel bearings
- Backing plate
- Brake master cylinder flush
- Bleed brake system
The new suspension and brake systems greatly improved control and safety on Kim’s 1965 Chevy Nova.
