Should throw in a pinion snubber while you're at it. It's a cheap, but worthwhile upgrade.

SpooledupRacing 10-18-2008 08:31 AM

How do I install the pinion snubber. where does it connect to and how many do I need?

SpooledupRacing 10-18-2008 03:49 PM

ok so nobody local had the pinion snubber I will buy one but I don't know how it will mount and if it can be installed with everything back in the car.


Todays progress:

I just need to get the bearings put in the rear hubs and on forward I can move.

Rear carpet is done

And I have noticed that the paint does wear off the carpet... this kinda bums me out after having probably 150.00 in paint I think I should have just taken the carpet out and swapped it for black carpet.

oh well u live and learn.

I also painted the headliner and pulled the engine harness out of the car.

It seems to be coming along nicely :icon_tup:

SpooledupRacing 10-19-2008 12:52 PM

thank you later I am going to go out and install the rear carpet and the plastic I have.

SpooledupRacing 10-19-2008 02:17 PM

rear carpet is in.. but I cant put in the rear plastic till I get seat belts.

MaczPayne 10-19-2008 07:04 PM

In the bin area, there should be a dimple on the trans tunnel. Drill a hole through that, and put the snubber through from the bottom and bolt it down, with washers to adjust preload on the pinion. The snubber is an Energy suspension bumpstop you can purchase from kragen, autozone, etc.

You can do it later if you choose, but it's easier to do with the subframe out of the way.

Ok so today I took my rear spindles/hubs/bearings to have them l pressed together.. I got them back and went home and installed them on the car WOOT WOOT!!

ok so as far as I am concerned get me some wheels and I cna get the car ready to go on the ground..

I still need to buy sway bars and end links and brakes but I plan to set the car on the ground without brakes so I can roll it around during the winter..

anyways here is the pic of the rear spindle on the car !!!
