Help Please!

What sort of problem are you having Carl ?

Perhaps between us all here, we'll be able to talk you through it :)

bolt on drive shafts, discs

nothing seems to be straight forward

i got the near side all on and it doesnt look right it loosk like the top of the upright neds to go back but it cant due to the driveshaft contacting the upright.

A couple of things to check.

Have the wishbones been made to the revised book spec, 10mm longer ( You'll find the revisions in the announcements section )

Are you fitting the correct shaft to the correct side ( one side is longer than the other )

Those lobro shafts do need to comress a little, if the rear bearing carrier is not fitted to the upright, the driveshaft will most likely kink to one side and hit the upright.

I used the old driveshaft nuts to pull the safts into the bearing carriers .... They can be tight little devils to get seated fully.

Here's another thought, have you left the toothed ABS ring on the hub end of the driveshaft ?

I seem to remember reading somewhere, it will not pass through the rear upright !!

If memory serves me right, the ABS ring can be removed with a cold chizzle ;)

I might be able to lend a hand soon if that helps.. Bedford just a junction away.:)

wishbones are 3ge so should be ok, i seem to recall checking with john when i brought them.

no i havent removed the abs ring but it did pass through the upright

the upright just wont adjust enought on the camber adjuster to get it vertical.

So does it look like the top 'bone is too long? or bottom maybe too short?

ummmmm what about the brackets on the chassis?

piccy time.
