well its a long story how i did this but i need to know the name of one of the pieces in my rear end (as i have bent it and need the know the name so i know what to ask for) its one of the main linkages that holds the bottom of the strut together, its on the very bottem of the assembley and bolts on in three places one bolts onto the suspention just inderneath where cv joint for the hicas connects to the wheel and the other 2 bolt the the shassy. also i think its a sway bar that is bolted to it, its very thick mettal thats in a kind of a y shape. being bent it has made the bottem of the wheel camber in allot.

thanks for your help.

Its ok, i have worked it out. Its kind of embarrising im an ex-3rd mechenic and i must have done atleast 20 in my time, on other cars.

Please excuse the starting post to this topic i just quikly wrote it before i went to be.

I picked up the new arm yesterday for $100. Should get it in today but the 22mm nut that joins to the hub is very f-tight (bent one of my spanners in it) i have taken the split pin out, is there a nack to getting it off or do i just have to take the axil out and hit it with a braker bar?

Also haveing a little troubble working out how to get the bolt out (the one closer to the front of the car) as i cant get enough space to get a hammer and a screw driver in.

I have wrecked the rim that was on there, i have a spair one but it has a crack straght through one of the spokes. Tossing up wether i could get away with running it like that or any rough guess' on how much it would cost to repair it?

sure ill work it out, cheers

its all good, finaly got it all back together today, after a huge headake and a bunch of swear words.

I s**t myself when i took it for a drive and the rear end was sliding all over the place and felt like the whole suspention was floating and shifting around. ternd out the steering rod on the hicas was bent so the rear wheels were trying to go in difforent directions. so i took it off and gave it some hard bending. still needs a wheel alainment but its drivable.

you can new close this if you like gene.

cheers guys,

panda.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
