Drivetrain alignments specs for new ZF rear?
I'm very close to starting the engine I installed (with lots of encouragement and answers to lots of questions from many of you) in SP3033.
One thing I want to get right is the drive train alignment. In the past I've heard that the specs for the tranny-to-rear was 0.0 +/-0.5 degrees and the drive shaft-to-rear was 5.0 +/- 2.0 degrees. I don't know if the new rear might move more under acceleration (wind-up), etc. and would like to know the specified static alignment specs. Lance at Hillbank is trying to get the specs from the factory but I thought I'd also ask you guys if anyone knows the specs. thx Matt |
there are no factory specs on the ZF rear drive line angle.
we had to modify our chassis we have assembled to get correct(ish) driveline angles. the easy way is to generate 2 tombstone shaped pieces of metal and raise the rear pivot point upward about 5mm. inserting them as new submounts. -- will see if i have photos. --Steve |
