Murbella – Day 54 – Rear Driver Suspension

Posted on 2020-09-142020-09-15

Trailing Arms

I had intended to get started on the suspension but when I dropped the driver side trailing arm down I realized I had missed a whole bunch of small spots due to the brush being so large.

Detail painting with a model brush

I got a much smaller model painting brush and went over each arm again, pushing the paint into those welded areas that a had missed as well as the smaller areas.

Since this all has to cure again, there won’t be much in the way of getting actual work done.


Parts

I also decided to pull out everything I need for the driver side work.

A whole lot to install!

I haven’t decided which spring plate bushings I’ll use. The rubber or the urethane.

However, with that said, the aren’t quite the same size, as the urethane seems just a tad too large.

Urethane Bushing

 

Rubber Bushing

The urethane just takes up too much space.

And I went through my sourcing notes and they appear to the be correct ones, or at least the SKU is labeled correctly.

New CV Joint

I still need to figure out how to fully dissemble a CV Joint to clean it prior to grease packing. These seem tight, but I don’t know if that is what they are like new without grease or not. They may be assembled incorrectly. Not sure.
