Re: Project: Fix to busted CV shafts & wheel bearings! 56k no no
is that front hanger for the rear spring a zr2 specific one, or is that some aftermarket part? as for my comment on the 30* shackle, that is my personal preference. the more vertical the shackle, the more stable it is, but at the cost of (a little) flex. the more you angle it, the better it flexes, but you give up some stability. i would for sure reinforce those shackle mounts too. did you use weld on perches for the rear flip, or the "flip kit"? as for cutting the overload short, but leaving it in the pack, i would do that. the only reason though is to keep that extra 1/2" of lift it gives you. if you take the spring pack apart to put in an aal, be sure to replace the center pin with a new one.
and, the rear pinion angle look fine to me check the angle of the rear output with an angle finder, and then compare it to the pinion angle. at static height your pinion should be tipped down about 3* from what ever the output is at. my rear output slopes down at 5* in my blazer FYI. |

Maybe it was just the picture I looked at. As I said I was eating pancakes at the time so I wasn't 100% paying attention.

Re: Project: Fix to busted CV shafts & wheel bearings! 56k no no
when you get parts cheeks... ok, as for the shackle hanger, i ordered a bushing and i will pick it up weds. this way is just a temp job, by no means staying on there. haha. the shackle mount should be tuff enough for what i do. i cut my old perches off, and re welded them on, (i just seen that flip kit fail on here. not good) i could prob use any spring off a vehicle with a 2" wide pack? or do i need a Z one. and will do on the center pin! i didnt have any vibrations at all, truck drives really nice, steering is a little loose, i think the pitman arm will help it? all in all, i feel pretty good about myself for being able to accomplish this in roughly 5 days thanks guys. ![]() |

You can do anything as long as it is the same width. If it's from a different vehicle you may have to drill a new center pin hole but thats not a big deal.

Re: Project: Fix to busted CV shafts & wheel bearings! 56k no no
This is why I'm going with full size springs to start with. I've already seen them work nearly perfect in another application.

What actually holds the pitman arm on?
And did he have to use the tool to get the old one off or just regular tools? |

Re: Project: Fix to busted CV shafts & wheel bearings! 56k no no
brandon gave me his pitman arm puller to use, tightened it down and tapped the pitman arm with a hammer and tightened the bolt up as i taped the pitman arm. it was a breeze..
the pitman are is held on by just that one nut and lock washer. I've heard they can be hard to pull off. i also heard t-bars are a bitch to get out, mine popped right out with a couple taps with a mini sledge hammer |
