dont drill into the bearing.
dont place it where you can never get a grease gun. Dont drill it where it interferes with mounting the arm on the car. On a bench it looks easy...you really need to look at it in the car to see that there is really only one good place on each end of each arm to put that fitting and have it be functional, and not in the way.

Thanks Rich for hooking me up with the last 2 sets, I just got them, although they came in while I was in Vail snow sking last week and this week. so there here now.

Awesome, just got the blighters yesterday.....
I've a question on installation. Reading their instructions i'm unsure what they mean by loctiting the bearing in, maybe i'm being simple but aren't you supposed to grease a bearing?? 1. Remove arms from car. Remove rubber bushings and cross shaft. 2. Press the cad plated tubes into the trailing arms, so that an equal amount protrudes on both ends. (For the nervous this tube can be additionally held in place by drilling a small hole in the trailing arm out near the end, and tack welding it.) 3. Grease the needle bearings with a high quality wheel bearing grease. 4. Using a generous amount of loctite, press a bearing into ONE end of the tube. 5. Slide the new axle shaft through the tube and bearing, so it comes out the other end. 6. Slide the second bearing over the axle shaft and into the tube, again using loctite to secure the bearing. The shaft should now rotate freely in the bearings. 7. Install the trailing arm in the car, using the supplied hardened washers as a race for the thrust portion of the bearing. The number of washers will vary from car to car, try to minimize the side to side play as much as possible. 8. Use the supplied bolts with the factory washers to secure the shaft in the car. 9. Recheck the bolt torque, and side to side play after run in. |
