"it appears the rear right hand side locating one has snapped a weld or something."
Chris, I hope that isn't too badly damaged as it is a bit of a pain to repair. These things have a tendency to snap or weaken in rear end collision on a 1600. Things must have stopped turning in a rush on one side when whatever broke. Hope it's OK. I snapped an alternator mounting bolt today for only the second time ever on a 1600 but I've heard it's common, makes a bad noise so I new instantly something broke and it happens a K or so from home. It was a right pain to get the broken bit out of the mounting which I had to remove from the block to get at it - I only broke a drill bit this time, the easiout actually worked (I usually hate those things). cya regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of FJ MAN Sent: Saturday, 4 May 2002 1:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Things that go bang Yeah im swappin the diff for an open one today. The moustache bar where it actually bolts to the body, like the two bars that come out from the body itself, it appears the rear right hand side locating one has snapped a weld or something. I got it all back together and the wheels bind too much so id say something inside the locked diff is cactus. Just hoping it wasnt a wheel bearing noise at the same time coz ill put it all back together and have to take it all off again haha. regards chris --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]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
