Eric's Summer Project - Part 13

(9/2-3/00):  Started re-assembling the rear suspension...  Everything is put back together, BUT the right side may have to come apart again.  The wheel wobbles, and as I had thought several months ago, I may have a bent axle stub shaft.  I'm gonna' do a few more tests to make sure.

Got the old inner, and outer bushings on the spring plate off, then installed the new urethane ones.

I got the angle set on the spring-plate to where I had it before (which was 18.25�) and 'preloaded' it, torqued the bolts, and whala.

Put the new bearings in (not shown), and the new bushings in (pic a little blurry), in the diagonal arm.

Then I installed the Diagonal arm! (here you can see the bushings again).

Not bad for the end of the day, on the 2nd.

Later in the afternoon, on the 3rd, THIS is what I had done!  Pretty darn good.

Later, I had just about everything, except the tires on (here you can see the new rear anti-sway bar).

After I get the "wheel wobble thing" sorted out (90% sure its the axle stub shaft) I will start on the ENGINE, Muhahaha :-)  Stay tuned for PART 14!
