Polished up my D30...
« on: Apr 02, 2007, 07:50:20 PM »
Got these in not to long ago...


got going on the install this past weekend..
Installed the new Alloys for the front today. Pretty straight forward install, we all know how to swap a set of shafts so not much to see here but a few pics.


out with the old in with the new, a little comparison

I was lookng for a new axle seals from alloy, i called everywhere and no one had them. Alloy themselves is are backordered till JUNE... and they want close to $100 for a set. I called my mechanic friend who got me these in one day, he sais they're made by OX and it only cost me $40 :D


loaded with RTV

here is where i was stumped a bit, shafts would go in and they would stop here. Coulldnt get them in anyfurther and the hub wouldnt sit flush with the knuckle. Brought out the BFH and gave it a baby tap and it slid right on...


and thats it.. they slid right in.. quick install.


:D:D

them axle seals are really nice! i like how the factory axle has that dumb piece of plastic keeping everything out! maybe its an idiot seal? were the axles pretty pricey?
