Rear-end Rebuild Complete-photos
After 2 weeks, abouit 50 hrs of work the new Duntov 3.55 is in.
What a different ride, sooo much quieter, didn't realize how much noise was coming from the rear end, bearings or what ever.
Now new bearings, Trailing-Arm bushings, U-joints, Spring, brake pads and 1 rotor feels like a new car. I am so jazzzed
Most of the time was spent cleaning things.... I hate, no love, no hate, no love laquer thinner.

how mich clearance do you have under the drivers seat exhaust pipe. On my 81 the pan is lower to allow for a optional power seat. I installed custom bent duals "again" and do to the height of the car I have 2" of clearance under the drivers seat pipe to the ground. even if I notch the tranny crossmember the pan is too low. was thinking about notching the seat pan?
