How close does the control arm get to the knuckle at full droop?

Just wondering aloud. Mine almost touch, and this is also about the point where the ball joint runs out of motion.

well i have a fair bit of space, but i think that has to the do with the location of the ears? The ball joints are at a pretty seriously angle though. when they wear in, the car will get more travel. the old ones had about another 5 to 10 degrees in them.

Redefining "heavy sweep", coming to a rally near you!

well..... fuck

so i guess every wonky swap needs its problems. Mine turns out to be that i need to shorten the driveshaft...

The car was occasionally making a rattle / grinding noise. So i went underneath to take a look. The shroud thing was lightly grinding at the tail housing because the driveshaft is too long and slides all the way it possibly can. This also mean i had to pry rather hard to get the shaft off the pinion flange and its doesnt really like going back on... (crap!)

Since the diff was already leaking oil in a nice circle, and I was discussing doing a four link with another axle, I think this is the cue that it is time to make that happen.

Just make those links a little longer to push the diff back and solve your driveshaft problem...
