Default Suspension and Drive Q&A

Hi All require some assistance in various areas

Front TCA Ball joint

Anyone attempt to rebuild or restore a the front TCA ball joint. So wondering if the old tired one can be pressed out and a new pressed In. I saw a post years ago asking something similar just can't find it. Our country does not supply the 4x4 tca in our market and imports are costly. So looking at inexpensive alternative if can be done.

Front ARB

Has anyone done a sleeved conversion for the front ARB and bush support alternative, when using 28mm bushes on a 26mm front 4x4 ARB

Suspension springs

Please help with some spring related data between 2wd & 4x4 2.0 and v6 models if their are differences

Fronts

no of coils including top and bottom rings
no of coils between top and bottom rings
Spring rate
Drive comfort: soft medium hard

Rears

Side drive Shafts

Need some help with rear side drive shafts

One end has 5 star markings
one end has shorter teeth on the tip
one shaft is shorter than the other

Need to know what end is left and right and which end faces inner and outer.












CV Joint

the cv joint Inner race has 2 flat end surfaces however, on the one end The teeth seem to be worn down or broader. Is this machined or due to wear? Will send a pic later

How far is worn down on ball bearing and cage on a set of German lobro cv sets.

how far is worn if there is signs of wear on inner race


Cheers
