I know this might be a sandbox thing, but hey help a brutha out.....I am working on my 72 VW bus. Not getting much love from TheSamba.com so I figured I could get some info from the mechanics in the 914world.
New Ball Joints. Flenner Brand. Installed into the torsion arms. Even right out of the box the BJ shafts did not want to move. No twisting, no tilting movement. Same for after pressing them in. Shouldn't I get some movement? Spinning and side to side? sorry video is sideways... But I am pissed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTqKqdHrikU |
