The Scoob

Also, neither Springfield or Branson HF's have the complete roll bender in stock. Sounds a lot like they can't do anything to complete their kits either.

Closest, I'm told, is Osage Beach. Not worth a 4-hour round trip.

Pardon the mess. But ya know -

Settled on a random grade 8 bolt to make VRS hole plugs from. youngest wanted to help on the lathe some more, so I instructed him on the pattern of work required.

Plugs are installed and I got the wheels speed sensor signal converted all connected. Seems like it mostly works for now.

Axles and more axles. Got a few more in my hobo shop tent, too.

Organized some stuff today and need to sort through my sticks to decide which to keep.

I'll pay shipping to take those off your hands.

Your Subaru junkyard that I've yet to see was the first thing to come to mind as I stacked these up

If you're ever in the area I'll give you a tour.

Just might happen. I gotta get this pile built first.

Stuff. Neighbor I hadn't met yet just brought these down to me. UPS hastily dropped my stuff off at his place again

Rear suspension travel is soon to be 4" more than OE. Now I just need arse back here to tell me that I'm overdoing it

Uh oh, Fucked On Arrival?

Believe it or not, their outsides are nicer than my last set. Tearing these down for some mods. All good... once I'm done.

INB4 broken CVs because CVs aren't meant to be limit straps.

How are you gonna locate the knuckle with those? Custom lower eye and upper mount?

Current, OE style CV's will be getting ditched. Only have about one more inch of droop before the bar collides with the inboard bell.

Front knuckle?? These are for the rear.

Upper eyes are coming off so that I can fit up the shafts to the OE mounts.

Had to re-shim the transfer shaft. Guessing I did that at the beginning of our shit show of a schedule with little to no sleep and I shimmed the wrong end.

Also found that the metric ball bearing is 0.002" too small for the pocket, so it rattles a tad. Fucking hell, Subaru. Debating on putting OE tapered rollers back in if I can find them somewhere besides directly from Subaru. Damn things are about $50 each from them.

Got the output housing put back on today. Hafta hook the exhaust back up again before I can test it for noise. The noise was the rear output gear teeth just barely grazing the drive gear bearing.

 

[JNHEscher]

Balls off and rollers back on. Just setting it back to OE and letting it eat. I've got plenty of shims on hand to set the preload.
