BUSHINGS

Chris;

Yes, the bushings are a press fit- HOWEVER, because they are angled, the carrier should also be angled when pressing them in and out.
Also, be careful that when you have completed pressing them back in that the ends of the bushing(s) coincide with the carrier face.

bushings

Chris:

Also, be sure that the shims that you are using are a bit smaller O.D. than the stock shims- should be loose in the hole. Stock shims are a close fit, the modified shims can float around freely (without the pin installed)

BUSHINGS

Chris; Looking at the left side (driver's side) of the car, the bushing with the single punch mark is on the top facing down and the bushing with the two punch marks is on the bottom facing up. Shim stack is about 1-2 inner top and 7-9 outer top 8-13 inner bottom and 1-2 outer bottom. numer will var...

FLYWHEEL

Count the teeth:
6v has 108
12v has 130

Size is another indicator, but can't always go by that- 6v is 180mm and the 12 is 200mm

Hope this helps.

Keith: Looks like you have a good idea of what needs to be done. I see the plate on the right side. Unless it is hidden, it looks like the hole however for the link is BEHIND the axle tube. If this is so, you'll want it in front of the axle (trying to get the link more perpendicular to the z-bar) Yo...

Keith: The 1/2 on the torsion arm probably refers to camber at that wheel. Hard to get more than 1/2 neg with stock link pin bushings. 3.5 probably is the caster From what I can see, there are two things I would modify: 1-the fuel pump outlet(if it has not been modified-hard to tell) is a pressed in...

Keith: The most difficult part about getting a new "toy" is learning the nomenclature associated with that toy. Spindles are on the front, so let's talk about the rear axle tubes and the trailing arms that go from these axles to a point forward- usually near the roll bar. On your car as pa...

z-bar

Keith: From the pictures it looks like the bar is where it supposed to be and all you need are the down links to connect the bar to the axle or the trailing arm. On the left bar- points to the rear, you should have a link going down to the rear of the axle tube. There should be a hole at the top of ...
