NoHachi Wrote:I believe that the Ground Controll coilover kits are steel. Great quality, any springrate and look purdy. But why do you want to weld them to the strut? two locating point-welds will do the same for alloy.Hmm, it seems that GC (or at least some of them) kits use also an aluminium sleeve. The problem is with the finnish inspection (aka. MOT) regulations, which state that home-made repairs on suspension components is not allowed. If the visual inspection shows that the struts are obviously home-built, they may order the struts to be replaced. Using a steel sleeve allows me to weld all around the strut tube and make it look more like a "factory-made" unit. NoHachi Wrote:Dissasembly of the rear axle/ differential is peanuts..not scary at all. The other way round though.....Wouldn't attempt this myself without all the neccesary tools (and you need quite some).Actually, we do have pretty much all of the required tools at our garage, except for one - a press. Unfortunately it's probably the one that's needed the most.. I'll probably refer all my pressing needs (haha, pun) to my preferred machine shop so that shouldn't be a problem, either. And WTF - the service manual says to grind away the rear wheel bearing's inner retainer. That thing is a huge piece of solid steel! |
