Thanks Byron I will contact you in a bit. Are you in town?

Those are your steering stops. they contact the lower control arm when at full turn on steering wheel. Why do you want to remove them?

Has anyone used the front/rear windshield seal from Vintage Rubber? just wondering about fitment etc. I know that some swear by the stuff from Datsport seals but how much will shipping be? Also in the market for a new windshield, I see there is someone selling them down in California both tinted/non...

You will have some busing deflection on the rear suspension as the wheels hang free, as you are trying to eliminate a vibration that happens when vehicle is at curb weight you want to re-produce same conditions that this occurs, so the use of a drive on hoist is a must. Depending on how much movemen...

Thanks for taking the initiative Keith, looking at the map maybe if I can make a suggestion to stick to the coast along Bayview Edison Rd? Anyone been this route? Thinking it may be a bit more scenic? But then again there are the long straightaways along the Chuckanut route too... Thoughts?

I see in your original post that you are using a frame contact hoist, there will be deflection on the rear suspension bushings which could affect your rear readings. to eliminate this I would suggest using a drive on type of hoist or using the drive on ramps for all 4 wheels. sounds like you are on ...

Good points Kieth and Jordan. All Cardan joints ("U" joints) need the interference angle of 0.5degree to operate correctly, to properly keep lubricant moving throughout joint and articulate all the caps on the u joint. The idea of the interference angle is to cancel out the speed up and sl...

Easiest way to do this is by measuring with a magnetic angle gauge, typically drive line angles are measured at the yoke (output of transmission at right angles to road surface) to the driveshaft (yoke at right angles to road surface on the drive shaft). The ideal difference between the two should b...

For the drive to Fort Casey or Auto X?

I would be up for a drive. Do any weekdays work for you guys?
Did you get some seat time at AutoX? I was thinking the same thing to try my luck at it as well? looks like there is still lots of room...

just saw your post FUNWITHMONKEYS I was just proposing the same thoughts on Kieth's post from Penticton... I think there must be a number of us that have cars insured in the lower mainland that could get together for a cruise? Byron/ James/ Jamie? (sorry ran out of names that I know!!)

Yes get it checked out by someone that has this kind of device otherwise it is hit and miss as you have already found out! We need to go for another drive BEFORE your aforementioned Fort Casey. I can PM you my number and we could get together for another drive? maybe some other Maple Ridge guys will...

Hey Kieth, nice to meet up with you agian! that was the same guy that was cruising... the WARBIRD! found you in amougst the Mote Carlo crowd! great to see you again, would have been nice to try to catch you on the twisties back home. I left the 510 for mama to drive (strange but she was stopped in s...
