Finally Starting To Put Rear End All Back Together...
After a long break not making progress because I was very hesitant to get the underside and truck area primed and painted, I finally got it done. Weather conditions have been very windy but I just picked a day and did it. Not the best job but certainly a lot better than it was. A couple shots of newly painted areas...
And now after installing the rear end I realized that one of the control arm holes in the rear end bracket is elongated! How serious is this and what to do about it? I assume welding a bracket on the outside is the correct solution. Any comments would be appreciated. See photo.
Also, after installing the drive shaft with two new front guibo's, I see that there is a large gap between the rear guibo and the flange. I did move the center bearing bracket towards the front a tiny bit to put pressure on the tranny but certainly not a 1/4"! Nothing else has changed. Any ideas where the slack came from?
I am certainly looking forward to getting the rear end all back in the car soon. I drove the car only about 1 mile total since getting it and all these improvements should make a huge difference!
