I would also check the swaybar.

I wouldn’t add a sleeve. Completely crazy to me that this is even considered, let alone a mainstream aftermarket item. Pretty sure ford can calculate axial and bending stresses in a rod. I wouldn’t want to deal with a broken rack on the trail.

I have never worked on a clock.

Clock spring is kind of a goofy name. It is just a mechanism to pass electric current to the steering wheel from the steering column without twisting the carp out of wires. It’s only going to affect items on the steering wheel that need current.

Rodents deliberately won’t touch jeeps, kind of a mercy thing… Jeeps are going to fall apart regardless due to design and manufacturing flaws.

Nice. Probably feels really good to get them installed. I need to stop by your place if I need to swap out springs. 🤣 Curious how you measured the preload. 80+ mm is over 3”, that is an awful lot. Do you happen to know the spring rates on those? I am running 500 lbs/in in the front and 200...

I have a turn hard top. One of the three holes on passenger side that mounts to rear cargo area was misaligned by >0.25”. I had to widen the hole and use a big washer. 😩

@Ducati1098 I am very impressed with your patience.

I am usually down with some science but … seems like the best use of 37L parts (rack housing and portals) is for target practice and show that … well … they aren’t really bulletproof.

No math or chicken scratch needed. Super simple actually. Max droop and thus max CV angle is completely controlled by total coilover length at max extension. Struts can’t extend any further so droop can’t increase. Add a 1” spacer and now total length of coilover increases and so will droop.

Any lift that increases shock length at ride height will necessarily increase CV angles since LCA angles increase. This includes spacers, spring preload, and increased spring rates. The difference between using springs to obtain lift vs spacers is the max LCA angles at full extension. Spacers...

Yes it does. And I must say most IT help lines respond much faster than you.. and they have some background music while on hold.

Blah.. Blah.. Blah.. Well I just swapped my hoss 2.0 rack for a 3.0… 83 minutes start to finish. Even took 2-3 work breaks, had a sandwich, a potty break… no power tools. Got a shoulder massage in between those two frame bolts. Easy peasy. Not really understanding what the big deal is...

This. I just bought an m210 FDU through ford performance, got the 25% off they were offering, had it delivered to a dealer free of charge, and got full rewards points for the purchase.

No it was not.

@Ducati1098 I am currently doing an m190 to m210 swap. I just got the m210 mounted today. I have RCV CV half shafts I got from another member. Trying to figure out which is which. One has a longer spline stub shaft on the diff side. I would think that is for passenger side intermediate shaft...

Did an m190 to m210 FDU swap. Maybe @popo_patty won’t send me packing now if I go wheeling with him. Still gonna keep the 22” rims though. This event looks like a good time

Awesome. Thank you. Wanna get those bolts correct.

@Ducati1098 I am in the middle of an fdu swap (m190 to m210). What are torque specs for front drive shaft torx bolts to fdu?

I would personally never hand out my VIN to anyone. PERIOD. I keep it 697,564 bit digitally encrypted. They can determine your blood hematocrit from your VIN. Next thing you know you’re abducted by aliens and getting experimented on. Not doing that. Well actually you won’t know since they erase...
