SUSP : rear disc conversion

[Spartan1987]

Yeah I was planning on it. good to know about the knuckles too. thanks man

If you're talkin about the stock rear sway bar, then you gotta make sure you grab some knuckles that have the accomodations for them. Aftermarket sway bars like 'suspension techniques' have a different mounting location so it wouldn't matter.

The knuckles don't have the accomodation for the rear sway bar. The trailing arms do.

Oh, Well I think the whole thing was on taken off and just is sitting next to the vehicle anyways.
Bad thing is though is that it's going to rain, and makes me wonder how long they've been getting rained on.
If i get them I will definitely have to get them resurfaced, was hoping not to have to.

it could be just surface rust. that's what mine was. just let the brake pad remove it and hopefully it's not warped. what you should worrry about is the integrity of the brake caliper and wheel bearing (though the bearing is sealed).

and the rear lower crossmember has the holes for the rear swap bar. if you have access to a full car, remove the crossmemeber too since it's only held on by 4 bolts. you just basically need the trailing arms and all that's attached to it minus the upper and lower arms (same), ebrake cables, and the soft brake lines. you'll see when you're doing it!

good good, but the problem see is that the frame is sitting completely on the ground, and the control arms and the rotors, the whole deal is already disconnected and laying right next to where the tires used to go, but I will check again soon. Thanks man

here is a good representation, lol of how the car is at the yard. It used to have a spoiler, and rear mudflaps, but I got it now.

[Spartan1987]
