The car had a bad knocking sound in the rear so I pulled the CVs apart to check the alignment of the spiders. They were okay but some of the balls were bare of grease. Following advice I re-greased the CVs and then hand worked them to ensure all operating surfaces were greased - never too old to learn. Result is no more knocking sound.
While I had the rear apart I decided to install some after-market LCAs, which I had delayed fitting as they used Rose joints. I don't really like such joints on road cars due to my durability concerns so I fitted bushed rod ends.
Stock 240Z LCA and after-market arm.
New arm in jig.
Using jig to set new bushed ends to basic configuration.
New ends fitted but there were some mating issues.
I skimmed 4mm off one face of each end.
Beautiful
I took the car up and down the street and gave it a 'bit of wellie', I came back inside and changed my undies.
