OK, so I was going to go to bed early tonight but I came home and found a package sitting on the table……………………. It was my shock mount spherical bearings!!! I happened to get my uprights back from welding yesterday, so you can bet your ass I was ready to get this crap back together and see how it fits! I had to install the sphericals by drifting it in with a 36mm socket (a 34 would have been better) and hammer, so the very edge of the bearing housing got a little dinged up but the bearing still moved smoothly. I got one in and am going to get the other one pressed in tomorrow – time is a major factor for me in the next 48 hours and I was excited so that’s why I didn’t wait to get them both pressed in.
Its a hair closer then I want on one side so I may grind down the misalignment spacer on one side about a mm so the shock mount will shift over just a tad. Overall I definitely thing was well worth the $125 bucks I spent on the welding.
I also got my Z33 inner tie rods in and was pleased to find out that they are the same length and offer more adjustability range then the S14 tien inner/outer set.
I attempted to get the car to my friend’s shop a few weeks ago but my other tie rods prevented me from doing it properly. We got it out in the street and that was all she wrote. I took the opportuny to take a few pictures.
I can’t wait to get the motor in and see how the front sits!
