(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!
