ballplr, i was in the middle of doing the cut and buff on the paint, so it should shine back up. and i dont really care about disks in the rear. if i was doing a show car or running big wheels i may do it but i didnt feel like paying for the swap[/QU


sorry didnt mean to po i love what you are doing just wondering why no disc is all.

 

i also love what you have done to your ride wish i had the time and money to bag mine

 

yeah they are only seeing the pressure put on them by the shock. there are the forward 4 link bars that hold the weight of the car. one thing im not sure of is the factory shock holding up. when you hit a bump the force will be multiplied because of the arm set up but the bearing itself doesnt seemuch of it. it transfers the energy by rotating instead of just being pushed. also the bearings are sealed so they should hold up pretty well in rain if i keep the greased
Are you saying that because they are cast? i know they werent designed for more than just shaft support but ill just have to watch them and see, but i think they will be ok

 

thanks for all the comments everyone

 

When are you expecting this thing to be done? I'd love to see the finished product.

 

i couldnt even guess on when ill be done as little as i get to work on it. yesterday i got the bags to clear the tires so next thing ill do is start tubing around the tires. it may be another month til its done.

 

Be careful with the grease, the seal are easy to blow out on those then water gets in. I deal with these bearings everyday. I am going to talk to some one a little more up on these but Im still nervous about using these for suspension. They are not made for the loads that you will be putting on them and the housings will shatter. Im not trying to be a smartass, just concerned about your safety.

Oh and also, the is no rubber or poly anywhere in these so you will hear every bump in the road loud and clear.

 

ill just have to see how it works. even if it does break the shock isnt going anywher. and the wheel isnt gonna fall off or anything so im not to worried. if sound and vibration mattered i would be doing this to something with the body isolated from the frame. one of the many drawbacks of a unibody is noise

 

everything is welded up just needs paint

 

In the series of pics. above, I was wondering about the womens feets, in the first pic.They look lots better than the part. "Moon"
P.S. Being a ole Texas boy[now trplanted Cali.], I know they makes womens feets better in Texas.
