Believe it or not, on Wednesday, we took the entire chassis apart to clean in inside and out. We had to get the tapping oil out of the holes so the Loctite would stick.

This is a really cool part. This is one of the push rod rockers. If you look very closely, we use bearings for the rocker to pivot on. WE DO NOT PIVOT ON BOLTS!!!

See the little bushings on the inside of the cut out of the rocker. Those bushings ride on the bearing race on the outside and on the chassis on the inside. The bolt then goes through the assembly and bolts the bearing race solidly to the chassis. That way when the rocker pivots, it pivots on the bearing and NOT on the bolt. Pivoting on a bolt is very, very bad as the bolt will eventually wear out and then you will get to go for a fun ride as your suspension falls off.

Hopefully this is a better shot.

Here are the differential side axles. Notice they are set up for CV joints. They are made out of 17-4 as well.
The original 427 Cobra had plunging 1/2 shafts which bound up seriously if you accelerated out of a corner while the suspension was still loaded. CV's were invented to solve that problem.
