1970 Dart Swinger FINALLY UNDERWAY
Well well well here we go AGAIN with the never ending rear end crap. Decided to break out the tape measure to check where I was going to put the spring perches. lo and behold the shop cut one side 1" short. So now I have a 17" passenger side tube and a 16"in drivers side tube instead of them being equal lengths. Apparently they misunderstood me when I said I wanted to center the housing and completely ignored the part where I said to cut the long tube down to the same length as the other side. Looks like they went off the pinion flange and centered that instead.
I'm convinced the mopar gods are actually working against me now :mrgreen:, this is now the second axle I've got, both have gotten screwed up some how. Hell I lost part of a finger to the first axle when it fell on me, and I still haven't gotten so far as getting a rear end actually under the car.
/vent
In other news, this little part fell out of the axle housing while I was turning it over. Anyone familiar with the 8.8 have a clue that it is?
