RE: '67 BJ8
Ok..so I am of weak mind and strong back and a bit of a sucker for
punishment.
One of my projects this winter is to lower the car by about 1"...just don't
like the way the rear of the Mark 3 BJ8 sits..too high. Also, I have a rear
sway bar that's been taking space in my garage waiting for installation.
While getting into this job, I started thinking thinking that I've done the
transmission and engine so I might as well finish the drive train and do the
axle.nothing particularly wrong with it..bit of play but nothing terrible.
So, I have a couple of questions:
1. To get the axle out, I need to slide it over the frame and springs.
While Haynes recommends this approach, I'm looking at the pumpkin and
wondering if will actually fit (even with rotating it);
2. I assume it make sense to replace the bushing on the tie bars while
I"ve got everything apart. However, am a little concerned that once I start
I'm going to find the bolts/nuts frozen and get myself into a bit of a jam.
Likewise for the bushings on the springs.
3. Is this something where you leave well enough alone?
Thanks fro the help.all advice and comments appreciated as always.
Paul
