Thread: Lets get my car finished!

  1. #1

    Lets get my car finished!

    So, I've got the engine done.. need 1 more part so i can attach the tranny back on but heres where im at.. I need the hub and knuckle set up all reassembled so I can push my car up to the garage. (The guys who took my engine out took it all apart and I wasn't there so I have no idea what Im doing)

    Anyone who wants to help me with the hub and knuckle set up would be great, once I get it done and the car moved I will post up more for what I need done..

    definitely need pics. but the hub attaches to the knuckle with 3 bolts. the knuckle itself sits on the lower balljoint and up into the strut. pix will help a lot

    ok, so i posted pictures in the chat and got it sorta figured out.. heres the photos..



    I need to attach the control arm and stuff so I can push the car up to my garage.. heard you had to remove the axle to install the engine so if its push able without it then no need to install yet..

    No need to put the axles in.

    5th picture down: Stealth 316 - Raising and Supporting the Car this is the part of the "Y" closest to the jackstand. it attaches wit ha U shaped bracket and 2 bolts

    the other part hanging down (the lowest part) swings up toward the middle of the car and a bolt goes through it to hold it in place

    Put the axles in if you are going to be pushing the car. If not, the wheel bearings can separate.

    i have never heard that before, hans. i guess you would know better than me, it just seems unlikely it would happen

    It CAN happen, its very unlikely. I personally wouldn't just because I wouldn't want to deal with the axles flopping around while I push the car.
