Reassembling the IRS, passenger side

Evening,

Have been working on the IRS and have the passenger half is assembled and now I'll get on with the drivers side.  The pictures will outline the process.
Here I'm checking and adjusting the preload on the fulcrum arm/hub carrier bearings. This set of tapered roller bearings are supposed to have 1-2/1000ths" preload as opposed to the endplay the hub is supposed to have.



Setting up the wishbone with the hub carrier


I had the IRS cage on the bench so had to get it down where I could work on it

Getting it set up to install the components

All assembled, will need to tighten some of the fasteners once the car has weight on it.


Now I need to get busy assembling the other half.

Cheers,
Lynn

  1. Almost done! It really is a big job with all the details and measuring that need to be followed. Nice new brake discs in place. Getting the ones with the correct bolt holes is sometimes not easy, but I believe you were the one that told me about that.
