neohic Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Couldn't help but notice that your rear axle is out of an XJ with that shock mounts the way they are. Are the spring perches moved or are they still in the factory locations?... 'cause that'd be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 slowly but surely things are coming together, get the last of my bushings tomorrow for the front and the the front will be finished, spent all weekend with a torch and a bfh trying to get those damn sway bar link bolts out, went to the h/w store and picked up a pit man arm puller, popped out in a matter of seconds :thumbsup: also picked up another flaring set just for the double flare dies :D the finished product, extended brake lines, new fittings flared on, sway bar disconnect links + bolts installed, had to haggle with the people down at lordco to get the bushings XD I'm getting good at repairing tie rods, found that the p/o sheared the cotter pins out and left em finger tight, so extensive drilling/hammering and they are like new :D and i scored this baby for 3 slices of pizza :D looks like I'm getting a dual battery set up :jump: more to come, going to swap trannys soon.

MancheKid86 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 got the tranny out! :D woulda had it out yesterday but i didnt have the e12 torx bit :ack: Drive shaft out starter off broke 2 bolts, going to have to use the stock x-member, the new one has 4 mounting holes instead of 8. freakin expensive socket! to tackle the top 2 bolts out and carted away, didnt stay on cart to long found carrying it much more effective clutch has seen better days, but it will last for a while, until i get more money ofcourse! done for today another project, i don't wana torch em out, ill see if i can mock up a home brew bearing press jeep on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 i could be wrong based off the pic, but it looks like your tracbar is on backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 i could be wrong based off the pic, but it looks like your tracbar is on backwards how so? it only bolts on one way :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 the heim joint with the adjustment goes toward the frame and the rubber bushing goes into the axle... it def. looks backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 the heim joint is in the frame, and the rubber busing with the adjustment is on the axle, the heim joint has a press fit bolt in it, only bolts into the frame, i did not install it, but thats how the track bar is oriented, the track bar looks more like a rear zj track bar for lift, adjustment on the bushing side.

Motion Offroad Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Looks to me like it's the RE1660 tracbar. If it is, it's upside down and is missing the required RE1665 bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
