A small rebuild and time to fix all the broken bits before the Durham Derby RSOC day at Croft

Its always been a bit of wild ride and some what unpredictable. So after some poking about i found what may have been the problem.

The rear axle was from a Saff 4x4 an due to a short deadline for Croft 2 years ago i had to just fit the axle without checking it.
I have now found it had been fitted with one arm from an xr4x4, these are a different camber and toe to the 4x4 cossie one. End result the wheel pointing in different directions

In the pic you can just see the difference in the bushes fitted to the standard cossie arm (bearing type) and the rubber ones on the xr arm.

So time to fit my spare 7 1/2" beam and some xr4x4 poly bushed arms. The diff is a welded 7 1/2" with big flanges so i can use the thick driveshafts. The hubs are Scorpio ones with vented discs, same as the 4x4 cossie. And a 18mm 4x4 ARR. And some new 400lb rear springs.





Now onto the front.
The TCA's are adjustable and for sometime there had been a knocking coming from them. One of the rose joints had worn out, new ones ordered and fitted.



And refitted, As you can see i run 4x4 hubs but with the shafts removed. They give a wider track with the xr4x4 hubs.



Only the seats to re-mount, starter to change and some new stickers to fit.
