I have yet been able to free the driver side rear hub from the halfshaft. I have it soaking in PB Blaster in hopes that it will eat away the rust that is holding it on.

 

Tomorrow I am going to get the subframe and differential dropped and start on the process of cleaning them up. I am also going to have the rear calipers cleaned and painted by tomorrow.(crosses fingers)

 

Here is a pic of the differential afer being cleaned. As for the front control arms I posted a cleaned one and one in the previous condition.

 

Here is what became of that stubborn halfshaft.



I ended up dismatling the inner portion of it to get it out of the A-arm. Luckily I found another set of halfshafts and a full set of 5 lug hubs local.

Did you get an adjustable camber link for your new springs?

 

No, I did cot get them. I don't think that it will be a problem with only a 1" drop. I did order a set of these today though.

I got them in 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35 with Toyo Proxes 4's 225/45/17 and 255/40/17.

 

I have stock springs that sag and i already see a bit of negative camber.

 

I figure mine was already in the same situation as your except I had even tire wear.

 

I think my tires are wearing evenly still i'm just worried about understeer lol.

 

Are you talking about the two little ones or the one long one?

 

the one long one would work with just lowering springs im sure.

 

Wanna come do my 7 after you are done with yours? I will pay ya

 

Arizona to Oklahoma, isn't that a bit far?

 

That depends on how much you are willing to pay.j/k

 

i wish i had a good place to work on my car. if i did id be doing **** like this all of the time. good work on doing what most of us should do but dont get a chance to do. maybe soon ill be able to afford a house with a garage then its on!

 

Either of them would be easy to replace once it is all assembled. If I incur any problems it won't be that big of a deal to fix later.

 

Today he brought my tires, RB competition front diff mount, Mazdatrix polyurethane rear diff mounts, and my Mazdatrix DTSS eliminators.

 

dude i love your rims. what kind/size and where did you get them!

 

I ordered them from www.sportcompactonly.com they were the only people who could get them for me before the end of March. The rims are a special order item from what every company told me. I am running 17x9 +35 in the rear with a 17x8 +35 in the front.

Thanks

 

Damn looking nice man. I wish I had nice weather to clean up my car. It's currently sitting in a backyard covered in snow...I wish I could get her out of there.

 

I wish that my rims would have come with my tires. j/k

Thanks
