So my buddy is driving across town(true friend) to weld this up for me.
I also removed the control arm, and am going to have him weld the tab back together, and reinforce it with a washer welded to each side of the tab. Hopefully, that'll give it the strength it needs.
Yeah- there's A LOT you need to check. Differential mounting bolts, broken swaybar endlinks/ tabs, subframe bolts/ bushings, etc. I just found out today that my subframe has a 3" crack above the front differentail mount, and I had a broken endlink tab. Getting both welded in an hour.
See here...
Here's my busted tab:
And another gem I found while under there:
After cleanup:
New vs. old:
So now I HAVE to get a guy to come over to weld up this crack before I put the other diff in- Luckily, the crack did not continue to the other side of the subframe- it's only about 4...
...For the rear swaybar endlink tabs?
Was just replacing my differential, and when I climbed under the car, I noticed that my left read endlink mounting tab was busted clean off. I know that some people just weld the originals to reinforce them, but have also read(don't remember where) that...
Well, the rubber seal itself sticks out about a 1/4 of an inch, so using a flat board might damage it. However- I found that the bottom of a spray can is the perfect size to drive the seal in, and is domed to clear the rubber lip of the seal! I used an empty can, pierced it to verify no...
Hi all-
I've been replacing the seals on my diff, and realized that I can't tap in the side seals, due to the diameter. I need something between 62 and 64mm in diameter to place over the seal to safely tap it in, and was wondering what people have used in the past, besides going to Toyota and...
So I bought this from Harbor Freight, and as mentioned above- it took more time to bolt it onto the hubs than to remove the hubs. Damn- what a difference it makes, going from a 2lb slider to a 5lb unit! For you physics guys, I know what a huge difference there must be in the impact force between...
WORD. Did you ever get oil pressure?? Because if you came on here to ask all these opinions on the best way to prep your engine, then just ran it with no oil pressure, I'm going to be pissed.
WOW, Hell of a story. Glad you're getting better.
Also- I've never seen someone so truly motivated to improving performance. I mean- usually people will get rid of bumper supports and interior pieces to lighten up, but you!- Pulling adnoids and tonsils?? MAD props man!!!
j/k- Welcome back!
Hey guys-
I've been trying to remove the two side axles from an LSD(out of the car), and my 3lb puller just aint cutting it. I was wondering what people are using for theirs. Did you just go with a beefier 5 or 10lb puller, or using prybars?(this didn't work for me either.), or did anyone...
Supramania keeps me off the streets, and off drugs.
For real, though. It's nice to have a place to share a common interest like the Supra. As for what kind of message we send out to others? If I had to sum it up- I love Supras because they are rare, they are old school, they can keep up, and...
How much for the heater core?
Sorry- joking is my way of dealing with intense feelings of rage and loss.
It looks like the fire had absolutely nothing to do with the engine or fuel system.
WTF is wrong with people? It's like those who don't have always resent those who do- even when they...
