Caution,,, As u have already mentioned AT 3:15 you can see the puck is not a tight fit on shaft ## TIP 1 / the puck needs alot larger diameter where it meets axle flange 2 / A locking collar which clamps to alignment bar can also help align /square up axle tube puck
whats material of the rod? I have two 1" ,one is classic normal full iron rod but seemed to me bit bended ,so I bought really hard kind of piston rod (for custom shocks fabrication or hidraulic pistons) but its also bit bended..and measure with those inaccurate rods is just circa, not very reliable.. or ,do you think 1" rod is too thin,despite its full inside ?
Did you use the 309 rod to weld tubes to the housing? I ordered 309 to weld front brace kit on and dont want to spend the extra on nickle if the 309 will holt the tubes to center as well. Also what control arms did you use? Im hoping any spherical adjustable will work
Maybe I missed it, but were the LCA brackets and coilover brackets set to ZERO with the diff housing, or were they offset and if so, by how many degrees? Excellent job btw.
double tap backwards 10 seconds (if you're on your phone) from the 2:44 point in this video and you can actually see the tube move like an eighth of an inch from the heat! it's pretty cool! nice job! or do this click on 2:50 then 2:40. it's amazing how much it dropped!
Super helpful! One concern: does heating and quenching harden the metal, therefore making it more brittle and prone to cracking? Is the area spread out enough that it doesn't really matter?
Tnx for the vid. That job is awaiting me aswell. Have a 04 TJ sahara. Fitted JKR axles to it. Had to fab all new brackets to fit the longarms and marry up the jk axles to the tj chassis. Subseqently the rear axle warped in a smiley arch. Current low tech measurents show 6mm. Or 1/4" Hope your system works
