I ordered new carbon fiber clutches and spring pack from Eaton through Jegs to rebuild my Eaton posi. I specifically asked for the 18 pack clutch set. I had to send back the first order they sent to me. This time, I did get the right spring kit, but they still sent me a 14 pack clutch set. I'm tired of this. Will this clutch set work? I'm about to go bipolar on Jeg's
I got out today and did some work on the car. Another frustrating day
I was wondering if anyone has had the problem of sliding a new yoke onto a new pinion. I can barely get my Moser yoke to slide onto my Motive pinion. Any tips to get this to slide on more so I can install the washer and nut to pull it on further? Trying to set the pinion preload and get the rearend setup.
What's wrong with this picture? Look at the lower attachment of the coil-over. These are the 3.6" stroke coil-overs from Ridetech with 8" springs. I believe I'm going to have to go with longer coil-overs with 10" springs. Any ill-effects having the 4.1" stroke coil-over on the front? Also, is there any problem with shimming out the steering arm around 1/4"? I'm having interference with the Truturn at the wheel.

Are you using Ride Tech lower control arms also? I would think that if you bought all the components from them or a vender then you should have the correct shocks? I would call them and see what they say, but yes you seem to have an issues with the shock being to short.
No, I'm not running Ridetech's control arms. Ridetech didn't seem to be hugely familiar with the ATS/Chicane brackets, which allows for a coil-over with more stroke. I'll have to call Speedtech tomorrow, I suppose, to hopefully get an answer. When I spoke with them in the past, they didn't seem hugely familiar with this particular setup either. They didn't design my front setup and I don't know how much experience they have with it.
Why not just build a higher lower mounting point on the control arm? I'd do a temporary one and make sure you have the desired travel. Is 3.6" enough stroke?
I have thought of that, but the amount of fabrication to execute that is more than I am willing to do at this point. I did speak with Speedtech today and was able to get more info than I did before. They spec'd the same size coilover that I have on the rear with the AirBar, which is 5.2 stroke, but with 10" springs. That would be the easier solution to this small hiccup, it seems
