<x-charset iso-8859-1>Ya cant powdercoat the beam! thrust rings on the upper arm holes are plastic but they do come out... inner bushings on the early cars may be plastic and their holders possibly too. Problem is that the entire inside of the beam, which you cant get at, is filled with old grease... this will melt and eather catch fire or leave a vapor all over the powercoating that will ruin it. Sorry! If you blast and paint be sure to seal EVERY POSSIBLE HOLE... as sand in there wont come out eather and will eventually work its way to where it shouldnt be. Arms can be powdercoated but be sure to remove the ball joints and bars first. Keith > powdercoated, but my question is : Do i have to remove the bearing in the > beam?
