I always do things the hard way
And I usually am changing out several things when I work on my car, you know, one thing leads to another
and another
and another
Man-you shouldn’t be taking pics when you are driving that fast.........
Where did you cut it @STEVE PATTON, just in case I need to. Im not sure I need to, but I would assume if I did, I would just keep a little slack in it?I ruined a speedo by using a new cable that was made too long. It puts too much pressure on the bearing in the head. I cut my inner and that cured it. Make sure the locking sleeve locks easily without pressing hard
Not that it helps now, but when I changed my rear spring isolators. I bought a set from auto zone from there performance shelf- they where energy suspension brand (I.e. bright red lol.) and fit just fine
So I jacked up and set my car down on jackstands, pulled the wheels off, took the sway bar off, unbolted the worn out shock, and a even more worn out quad shock dropped the axel down on the left side and pulled the spring out of the car. I open up my new box of spring isolators and attempt to swap them out. I’ve had these new isolators for about 3-4 years and never really looked at em. Turns out, they are isolators for the front springs!!I could have sworn I bought rears, but it’s been a long time. So my wife comes out to check on me and told her what’s up. She laughs and says you should always check your parts before you start. How can I argue with that? Dammit. I searched through my box of parts and I don’t have em. I called the local NAPA and Oriellys and they don’t stock them. So I put everything back together. Granted, this isn’t a hard job, but it still bugs. I was going to pull out my speedo cable after this task but I lost my motivation. Now I’m sitting out in the back yard having some beers. Maybe tomorrow, or Monday. As far as the rear suspension goes, I’ll probably just do it all at once. I think the shocks and quads are originals.
It’s does man! Thanks Rdub!Oh man.... that’s a buzzkill for sure! But look at that paint!!!!! That’ll make you smile!
Were those universal isolators @RaggedGT?Not that it helps now, but when I changed my rear spring isolators. I bought a set from auto zone from there performance shelf- they where energy suspension brand (I.e. bright red lol.) and fit just fine
They didn’t have em, went out to lunch today and stopped by. Oh well, I’ll get all new rear stuff soon. I might have new job coming up. I’m going to talk to another bodyshop owner on Tuesday after work. It’s one of the best and busiest shops in Albuquerque. Well see. One of my old friends is recommending me. Could be a big opportunity for me. Speaking of tornados, @Davedacarpainter, prettyYes..
