1978 Spare tire question

What spare tire size will fit on the rim for the factory spare for a 78? Is the original spare temporary tire a 190/85-15? Would a 195/50-15 work?

I can't see any gaps where the races seat. I'll check them again. I agree that if the spacer/shim old vs. new is the same dimension, you would think that it would have the same slop and not .003"...

By bearing support units are you talking about the piece that holds the races? That ship sailed as I removed and installed the new race assemblies.

Rear spindle toast

I had a local shop pull the outer bearing from the spindle and this is how I got it back. To be honest, I don’t know if he did it or it was screwed up in the past. Either way I’m buying a new one. ...

Bolts were not loose. Since this whole thing is like new, I pulled the spindle with the trailing arm in the car. It came out fairly easy with a few taps. Timkin bearings look good but I’m...

Houston, we have a problem

My rear trailing arm has a lot of play in it. Video below. I had these rebuilt about 12 years ago by a local guy. I drove probably 3000 miles since then. He said they were set up with 0.008”...

Vent cable for left side

I just broke mine and they are out of stock online. I’ll buy right and left if you have them. 724-882-0801 is a good way to reach me.
