You shoulda ordered the shock hoops from the CC Fab shop or what ever he is calling it nowdays. I had plenty of bushings also in the barn but getting GM to ship the right ones would have been interesting to say the least. :DQuote:

doh...I missed a page. I thought you were contributing that to the link discussion :D
Seems to me the revolver shackle problems would be accentuated with thinner, higher-arched springs, and less of a problem with flatter, wider springs.
not a revolver shackle its a johnny joint shackle
Yeah the CC fab shop can make you some shock hoops

found this for you Rowdy should help you out a little
I need some advice on welding the front and rear. Do i just burn off the oil with a torch and weld up with a mig or would stick be better? Can i weld it up in the housing or does it need to be out? Ill get pics up of what i have done but the camera took a sh!t on me
I used brake cleaner to help clear the oil out. You can leave the carrier in the housing, just have to watch for slag/spatter on the ring gear and make sure to clean it out thoroughly with a magnet. I used a mig, worked fine.
Either way will work fine, if you use a mig though allow a little extra time for cooling. You can use the torch to blacken the ring gears with the soot from the acetylene to help keep the BB's from sticking also.
