914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Trailing Arm Reinstall Question

Posted by: Amphicar770 Mar 30 2016, 02:32 PM

Going to put the rebuilt trailing arms back in.

1) Should I put axles in arms first or after the arms are on car.

2) When tightening up the bolts on the new bushings. Should car be fully loaded (i.e sitting on its wheels)?

Thanks,

Mike

seeings how none of the really smart guys have chimed in ill give you my 2 cents

?1 yes the stub axles do,not the trans axles
?2 I just put mine togather in the air and tighted everything,its pretty tuff getting in there with car on the ground..

If you leave/take the starter off it makes putting in the drivers side axle much easier.

I just replaced trailing arms on Betty's car. I left the axles on the car, and inserted them into the trailing arm when I put them on.

So I would put the axle on first.
