Damien,
Tension/Compression rod aka Radius rod in some places. Many an argument
has been had as to why calling them a radius rod as in most Japanese workshop
manuals is not a true reflection of their role in the suspension. It's the rod
that connects the lower control arm to the body and they can be fitted fwd like
on a 1600 or rewards like a Torana or Toy. They usually are mounted in the
opposite direction of the front callipers but as most 1600s have been modified
to have fwd mounted front brakes we have upset this design
feature.
regards
Terry

As you say you can feel it through the brake pedal, then some part of the suspension is moving under brakes and this is the most loaded suspension point under brakes in either direction. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Zac Campbell > To: Ozdat > Sent: Monday, 11 March 2002 23:58 PM > Subject: Things that go clunk > > > Guys after finishing off my brakes I reversed out the driveway to find the car go 'clunk' when I stomped on the brakes. it does it when the front end cops a bit of a knock, either hard brake, or down a driveway. it will seem to do it once going forwards then not again, until it does it in reverse once (then not again in reverse). then it will do it going forwards again!! > I have a feeling it might be a steering thing but odd that it should fail so suddenly. > the sound appears to come from the front of the car but all the suspension appears to be bolted down properly. might need to jack it up to double check but does anyone have any ideas? > > cheers, > zac > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > >--membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- >OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- >Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >No unauthorised redistribution of this email >http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm >http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html >http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ >---------------------------------------------------------------------whats a 'T/C rod' guys?
