That has to be the first thing every Maverick owner has to fix. I remember getting mine and having that squeak. It was very annoying, until I...
Sadly, I may be reassembling it just to sell it. But yes, I want to carve some corners in it first!!!
Cut one complete coil out of both springs, and the lower A-arms are now level (but not in this picture, I just set it down off the jack). [IMG]...
A-arms are not perfectly level in this shot, because I just lifted the car and set it back down, and the wheels are stuck a touch in, forcing the...
Well, thanks to Bryant's suggestion, and my idea to roll the car back and forth a few feet in my garage, everything has settled and the A-arms are...
If that was the Picture Holder thread, I just started that yesterday so that I could PM a picture to another member. I told him to save the...
I tried to find it on Car Craft.com and the event's website and could not find it in either location.
Bryant, thanks for reminding me about that. I had them loose when I started this project, but when I first got the springs installed, I tightened...
By far the best cowl hood made is from Maverick Man on here. They are carbon fiber, and fit perfect right out of the box. Not sure if he has any...
I have bounced the car with my own weight, and I figured that rolling it forward and back about 6' will help it settle out a bit, so I can...
I am not "lowering" it. The lower A-arms are supposed to be flat horizontal, so that the geometry is all correct. I am only cutting the springs...
Gene, I am sure that if I attempted to turn with it upside down like this, those lock nuts on the end links would either bind by hitting the sway...
I bought the swaybar as part of the Rod and Custom kit. It should fit once I get it on right. All the other parts are Rod and Custom, from the...
On p. 86 But it has some sort of suspension problem. The front wheels are off the ground while it is taking off at some drag strip :D
Oh nooo! I mean AFTER it is all assembled correctly. How much should I expect the springs to settle, if at all? I will flip the sway bar...
Got both sides cut and weight back on the tires. Now the alignment is WAY off :D I need to roll the car forward and backwards a few times, and...
The tie rod is hitting the sway bar. I just cut one coil off the driver side, and now it is resting on the swaybar. Is the sway bar simply...
I figured you were misinterpreting what I was measuring. At $8-12 per belt, I should be able to get it right with one or two tries, starting...
The tensioner presses downward, adding another bend to the mix, adding another inch or so to the overall length. Shorter, and I wouldn't be able...
Wish I had a window in my garage...:cry:
