The Jalopy Journal
Have a look at this video I made. [MEDIA]
I flipped mine back over and made a set of boogie blocks or whatever they're called.
I have the Jamco camber kit as well
Good to hear. In the video or rather at the time I made the video I didn't realize that the lower arm was more relevant than the center link so I...
They're the stock uprights in the stock configuration. I had Fatman uprights and steering arms but they didn't fit worth shit so I took them off.
Let me ask you guys a question...if my center drag link is at zero degrees and my tie rods are at 5 degrees angled up, how likely am I to have...
I found some Moog and some "Wizard" Western Auto ends that are made in the USA but if possible I'd like to use Ford parts. If not I'll use some of...
I went on there to see what they had. They have four different brands but they're all Chinese imports which I'm not willing to put on the car. Do...
Anybody have a master parts book for shoeboxes that can give me an exact part number? The problem I'm running into on good ole *bay is that...
Did the arms bend straight down or did you pull them back at all? Remember how many inches down you bent them...2"? I'm thinking of making a jig...
I did Aerostar Springs and Fatman dropped uprights. The uprights didn't fit worth crap so I pulled them off. I planned on flipping the original...
Did you have to heat and bend the steering arm at all since it's moving the upright up 6"?
Obviously a super old thread but did you ever try this with the Aerostar coils or nah?
It's off. The larger center is part of the yoke however so its gotta stay. Thanks guys[ATTACH]
Good deal thanks
Do you guys think I can cut the damper off? It looks like I can cut straight through it to the rubber on both sides of it and it should just pop...
Does anybody have an S10 rear out that can measure how far the the pinyon yoke end sits from the housing? This one with the damper on it is 3" on...
Yep had I known I had a 7.5 it would've made life alot easier lol
I actually was mistaken about which rear it is as it's the 7.5" and not the 8.5". I based my initial post on the cover measurement which is more...
The 2wd rear is about an inch and a half more narrow on each side than the shoebox rear. The wheels I'm getting have .75 of an inch less...
So rockauto has all the specs, or most of them anyway. The thing is every single bushing is different in one measurement or another. [ATTACH]
No problem at all
Looks like it's exactly on 6 and a quarter
Yeah I can do that. Give me a few and I'll get it for you
So if I have the 1st style seal with the damper and switch to the yoke in the picture I posted, should I stick with the 1st style or switch to the...
I just looked on the diff and it's hard to tell with the gigantic damper in the way but it didn't look like it had the seal lip on it. Let me...
This is it. [ATTACH]
So the obvious difference in the seals is the new one has the lip around it that butts up against the housing and the old one doesn't. So if the...
Hows it going guys and gals? Two quick questions for those who may know... I just bought a 2wd s10 rear (8.5") axle from a '97 today. It's going...
Squirrel what's up man, how have you been? I know this is an older thread but I just picked up an S10 rear with the balancer for my shoebox. Can...
