Thanks for the warning, i didnt intend on bleeding it anyway.. just take it off so i can cleanup and vheck the pads but glad u said that lol. My front brakes don't work, theres a leak in the right drum and it leaks all my fluid out but... the front end is a project for another day... im gonna change the tran fluid and if i can source the parts quick enough do the vent mod.

If your seals are in good shape on the uni's then I think it would be fine but also the seals might absorb the paint and become stiff.

Ok new bearings in, the back left hub was almost basically locked up the bearings were so bad now its reaaal smooth, probably just gained 5hp haha. Paints on skipped the axles, axles are greased up and aligned, camber is set i didnt pull the caliper off i just sprayed it off good and its clean, i remembered the parking brake doesnt work tho so i gotta fix that, think its just slack.
I think everything is good... like my pearly whites? Lol

Careful what you do here.
The wheels on my oddy's camber funny sometimes to but when you jump on the back of the machine suddenly everything looks ok. The rear suspension travels in an arc on an oddy. This causes your wheels to change camber and toe. You can change your toe by unscrewing the large rod end at the end of the trailing arm as well as changing the shim you are talking about. I use a tape measure to see what my toe actually is. You can't just do this by eye.

Just a silly ? when you get in the are you getting any rear sag

Meaning the rear drops down

i am only asking as the rear looks real stiff

? maybe too much air in the shock

The Right rear still looks the top of the tire is leaning it at the top

Oh ps little late put a grease nipple in the bearing carrier see pic

Also check out the rear stance of mine now my shocks a the same length if not a little longer
than yours

wyeeoddy

Had a long work weekend but finally got back out to the garage.

So oddy after taking measurements i ended up leaving the washers in.
Because combined with wyeeoddys point yeah my stance is quite a bit taller than yours, shocks were at 240 psi i lowered it to 200 and now i actually get some sag with me sitting in it... may need to reduce psi some more? To say 180 maybe. It feels better bow than it did before.

And that's a good idea wyeeoddy, when its cold with no snow to play in ill put some fittings in, are the ones you used self-tapping?

Edit: and that right wheel is fine by the measurements, it just looks funky in the pic
