Rear suspension
« on: Thursday,December 22, 2016, 05:45:09 AM »
I finally got one corner done. This is the second attempt. After it was completed the first time I found that the PO had machined the bearing carriers incorrectly. Now new reconditioned bearing carriers, stub axels, bearings and rear disc brake kit all from Banks,harden internal spacers from RD Ent, and shocks from Barry Spenser Motorsport.

Looks like things are moving along! Are you going with two u-joints and letting the inner one slide on output shaft?

Friends don't let friends paint their suspension Ford blue!

Looks good otherwise though  ;-)

I suppose the colour goes with the manufacturer of the bottom half of the engine - if it is a twin cam! (Or Zetec)
