Hey guys,
I've got a set of upper adjustable control arms for the rear axle and I'm going to install them today. is it just a matter of taking one out and putting the new one in on one side and repeat on the other? It doesn't seem like there will be enough play in the axle to add the length I need without going back and forth a bunch of times.
So do you do them one at a time, or both at the same time or what? n.
All I have to say is, "Duh". The probably would have become obvious to me when I got under there.
Thanks, Bill. n.
L.W. ("ßill") Hughes III did pass the time by typing:
leave the wheels on, that way if the vehicle falls it's only as far as the axle. Besides which you will need something to hold up the axle. :)
That's kinda what I was thinking. Thanks. n.
Ok guys... one more.
What's the trick to rolling the axle back? (ie, how do you get the pinion to point at the T-case output?)
n.
Bill, the shaft is in the mail
Thanks again. n.
Ok, pinion angle is good, but the shock cans are kitting the spring mounts... This isn't going to cause any drastic failure, is it? I just need to drive to work and home tomorrow then I can get in a garage and flip the shocks (DT3000) so they run cans up. n.
I ran my DT3000's can up in the rear. You still have to reposition the axle side mounts, as the can may hit the axle at full stuff.

I just need to get everything back together at this point. I'll be doing this mod (or something very like it) in the near future and will worry about repositioning things at that time.
