Great. Did you take a height measurement before?

Sure did bud :thumb2

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

New springs are thicker too

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Before and afters, I will be setting it up properly tomorrow :thumb2

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Today I have also adjusted my front wheel bearings, quite a bit of play in them I thought but I haven't noticed any noise difference :nenau

On the n/s one the yellow paint from the factory check over one of the locking plate screws was still intact, so I can only assume this is the first time it has been adjusted :nenau

Top job T-Doug. Have you been out for a drive to settle things down? Obviously we need photos too.:doh

I know I have said this many times before but taper roller bearings need a pre load, "the inner race turns if not and wears the nut so making the play worse", so adjust the nut till no play then a further quarter turn max back of slightly to line up screw holes, Rick

I'm glad you said it again Rick, I remember you telling me something about this in wiltshire but forgot the specifics, I will re adjust them accordingly.

Just for clarity, adjust till no play then tighten the disc/plate/nut a further one quarter of a turn, then if necessary back it off a fraction to line the locking screw holes up?

You got it in one, Rick

Is it torsion bar day today? :naughty

Is it torsion bar day today? :naughty

Sure is baby Going to jack her up now and have a fettle:thumb2

New springs are good so far Ian, they handle bumps better than the old ones, but I think they were shot, they were sagging at least an inch as these bad boys have raised my rear by 3inch

Excellent. Safety first on torsion bars T-Doug. You've got to get up close and personal with them so rear on ramps front on stands for the droop. Trolley jack somewhere close just in case:thumb2
The adjusters took some persuading to get off.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

All done and not even a scraped knuckle, which is unusual for me :lol

Everything came apart quite easily and went back together nicely

I've set the bars so the front is level and a bit lower than the rear and the combination of re-indexing torsion bars and new rear lift springs has made an improvement to the drive :thumb2

I'm off t costco for me veg oil and then to the east coast for a drinkie, I will re-measure and take pics tmoro but I think the last measurements were 910mm at the rear and 880mm at the front. It doesn't look too high, about right infact, I'm pleased for now :naughty

Good for you but you could have put up just 1 photo! Now we've got to wait till tomorrow?:doh

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

I'm hung over so that's it for now :lol

 

[Blocky10]

Looks good T-Doug. What does the camber look like now? Come on, crawl round there with a sick bucket:augie
