Pontiac Grand Prix Suspension & Brake Rebuild Checklist - MOOG, RaceTronix
Owner's handwritten/typed work-order checklist for a suspension and engine refresh, covering MOOG control-arm bushings, knuckle, tie rods, brake pads/rotors and fluid changes.
This document is a personal automotive to-do checklist (not a factory service procedure) scanned from a printed page with handwritten strike-through marks in red ink indicating completed tasks. The list covers a major front-end suspension, brake, and drivetrain refresh project. Struck-through (completed) items include pressing MOOG bushings into the lower control arms (LCAs), installing the LCAs, hub-to-knuckle and knuckle installation, new sway bar bushings and end links, and a new transmission mount. Remaining tasks include re-checking fuel and brake line unions, installing new MOOG tie rod ends, connecting inner/outer tie rods (with a note that the writer didn't count turns during disassembly), connecting the "Mangasteer" cable, replacing the lower radiator hose and flushing coolant, soldering a RaceTronix fuel pump wire to the resistor, installing a new ignition harness (with a question about crank sensor access and the harmonic balancer), new engine mount, slotted rotors, brake pads, calipers, oil and filter change, refilling all fluids, starting the car, bleeding brakes and the cooling system, and finally driving the car 28 miles to a body shop/welder. Readers can learn the scope and sequence of this owner's suspension/brake rebuild project.

Frequently asked questions
- What brand of tie rod ends and control arm bushings does this checklist specify?
- MOOG — the list calls for installing new MOOG tie rod ends and MOOG "problem solver" bushings pressed into the LCAs (lower control arms).
- What fuel system modification is mentioned in this checklist?
- Soldering the RaceTronix fuel pump wire to the resistor.
- What is the final step of the project on this list?
- Driving the car 28 miles to the body shop/welder, after starting the car, bleeding the brakes, and bleeding air from the cooling system.
- Which tasks are already completed (struck through) on the list?
- Dropping off the LCAs and MOOG bushings to be pressed in, cleaning sway bar bushing surfaces, removing sway bar bolts/brackets, installing the LCAs, installing the hub to the knuckle, installing the knuckle (ball-joint stem, strut bolts, axle), installing new sway bar bushings and end links, and installing a new transmission mount.
- What concern is noted about the ignition harness installation?
- The writer asks whether crank sensor access will be an issue and whether the balancer needs to be removed.
