1966 (why Did I Buy This?) Jeep.

Single hole passenger side 30 ?

 

I'm pretty positive that the RT side knuckle has two holes in it. I can see the knuckle arm is longer on the RT than the L side.
And yea...... that setup is going to make for some crazy ackerman angle/ toe in gain when turning.

 

Edit. I got some more pictures.
Definitely has two holes.



This looks like the oil slinger from the front of the crank. Hopefully they had another one to put on.

 

Where’s the best place to buy custom draglink and tierod? Don’t need Heavy Duty.

 

I got y tie rod and drag link from jeepsterman it is a crown items he sells as a kit.

 

I guess you’re right- I think the 72-81 stock TR And DL should work fine.

 

The ones I ordered for the 27 were from Speedway Motors. They have 11 lengths to choose from. They seem to be bare steel now. The pair I ordered came painted black. Perhaps a cost cutting measure.

Ordered TR and DL from Speedway seems like a good deal at about $40 each. I think I have a couple new ends around here somewhere. Under $100 total

Ordered TC rebuild kit from Summit this morning. $150

Driver side front wheel was rocking on the spindle. Bearings seemed fine but PO only had one spindle nut holding hub on. Ordered a few of these and new washers $25

Around $300 in parts so far.

 

Cool. I’ll have to check what I gave Greg on the “Free Jeep “. Otherwise they’re soon available.

 

40lb bumper swapped for a 4lb bumper.





How is a manual box lubricated? This might be the best time to check it.

 

I’ve been called out!! I worked on Axels, engine and bumpers- Cynthia asked “Isn’t the transmission broken?”

We have a music festival starting Thursday, I better get under this thing tomorrow if I want it apart before we leave for 4days.

 

Is this the double tie rod setup you mentioned? The Free Jeep can always use some free upgrades!

 

I've been running that setup for 11 years

 

Cover bolt closest to frame is the level for lube

And now for another episode of "knuckle puddn"

I see the problem. There are no teeth left on that gear!!



so I don’t think the transmission main shaft was supposed to come out with the TC. See under the Jeep it’s still on there.

 

I got most of the TC apart. I’m going to rebuild and seal it up before I get the transmission out.

 

Going to push it into a corner for now. I have a t14 ready to swap.
