My Duster Adventures
Well, I worked on my car tonight for the first time in nearly two weeks. I got the transmission mount pulled out of my valiant parts car but it’s not gonna do me any good. The mount and transmission want to occupy the same space in a bad kinda way. So I broke out the sharpie, poster board and scissors and brainstormed most of the night to see what I wanna do for the new mount. I came up with a design but I’m not sure yet if I’ll go with it or do something different.
I had to order a set of spindle washers/nuts for my spindles. I installed the drivers side hub, stuck the disc and wheel on for a sneak peek of the ride height.
That’s a whole lot of brake!
With not weight in the tire, it’s right at 25” to the wheel opening, so when the tire squats a little, it should be a little under 25”. The rears definitely gonna have to come down some as well, it’s currently right at 28” in the back.
