 |
|
| OK so I'm new to this sight and in need of help. I have A swing axle pan that i put A # rib bus trans and 3X3 arms and Porsche 930 Cv's on. I notched my Sway Bar plate about 1/2 an inch to get a bit more travel.... But now it kinda binds a bit, not so much it wont turn the wheel over but enough to cause concern.... Did i screw up bu notching? I asked my local shop and they were not to helpful. Please help I'm trying to be running by Friday morning/// |

do you have any pics of how the trans is mounted and the spring plate notches? It might give us something to work with

if the arms are at full drop and there is no play in the axles side to side (trans-to stub axle) then you will need to put limit straps on it to keep it from dropping into the bind

Install adjustable limt straps. Adjust them until the bind is gone. Typically you would lower the trailing arm until it just starts to bind the CVs then raise it up 1". Thats your sweet spot. Better to loose a little travel than to loose a cv.

Right is always the Passenger side and Left is always the driver side of the car.
