I need to swap over to a different set of trailing arms
and while I'm at it I am considering going poly bronze.

Anyone wanna share experiences?

the elephant fronts perform the self aligning feature when installed correctly.

the kit is for tweaked chassis only (or if your original housing are toast)..what is nice about the needle bearings is that the tolerance between the sleeve and the bearings is tight fitting, the bearings allow up to 2° misalignment (I'd have to look at the spces to be sure)

for the Elephant bushings, this is a good place for some Kytox grease....too bad it's like $300 per pound or something crazy like that....


Move along, Mike, no volvos to see here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW, drove the white car w/v8 for the first time this weekend. Pretty neat till
I gassed it a little bit in 3rd and the clutch slipped. I can rev it as I drive along
in 3rd or 4th, (actually 4th and 5th, I suppose, on the 901) without accelerating
so I'm just gonna swap in the 930 box and clutch. I have some
trailing arms that already have 911 stubs in em that I will use with my hybrid
911/930 axles, and I figure I might as well redo the bushings before I put them
in.



My original housings where out of round from wear, that's why I used them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
