This is not true. Although they have the same pattern, the spindles don't allow for a backing plate to be placed behind them. If one were to use them ,all of the vehicle weight and load would be on the spindle studs. This puts all the shear load on the studs instead of them just being in...
There is a wedge type spacer that fits behind the spindle on those axles to adjust camber if it's not too bad. I wouldn't recommend running the balljoint as it doesn't last as long and is rather weak.
Either way is fine. I prefer splicing the tubes as it requires much less tooling and will be just as strong if done properly as pressing the tubes in and out.
Is there a pressure switch on the AC system that keeps you from engaging the compressor clutch when the pressure gets too low? This is on a 91 explorer. I can't get power to my clutch and can't figure out why. Tired of not having AC and need to get it fixed.
Once I get it figured out, how...
Happens right at 65 and over. Very annoying. Just swapped tires so I know it's not the tires. Redid the rear driveshaft ujoints in December. Wheelbearings, balljoints and all steering is tight. Happens in 4th gear and 5th gear. Vibration doesn't change when clutch is pushed in. Caster is...
Looking for a picture of the rear suspension. Do they run some sort of short track bar on the rear axle? Looks like it does but I haven't been able to locate one to take a look. Any help would be much appreciated.
Like I said further up though, not all 10 bolt backing plates will work for this swap. Unless you don't care and are keeping the 6x5.5" pattern or 8x6.5" pattern. You need to find the 10 bolt with the same hat size as your 5x5.5" rotors. Some are narrower and won't work.
Depends on the hat size of the 10 bolt rotors. Not all chevy 10 bolt or 44 backing plates will work. Only some FSJ 44 stuff will work. The only way to know for sure is to measure the hat size of the rotor on the 10 bolt and compart to the 5 lug hat size. If it's the same, it will work, if...
The last time I tried to do as you said, the caliper wouldn't clear the F250 knuckle as there is no built in recess like the 1/2 ton knuckles. If you did this, I want a picture.
Same here. I refuse to buy someone elses project ever again. I've had one of those. Luckily it wasn't as bad, but still some hacked together items. Even used vehicles that are stock can be this way. Whether it's wire nuts on the stereo or speaker wires just slammed in the door. Still...
Off the truck, the wagoneer 44 is stronger. Bigger ujoints. It is a tad wider than the EB 44. Somewhere between 1.5-2.5"s IIRC. Honestly, for a mall crawler, leave what you have.
Depends on the year. Early 8.25" got 27 spline axles, later got 29 spline. Can be converted to disks fairly easily. Most have 1310 style yoke but I'm pretty sure some got flanges.
