DISLEXICDIME Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Bearing spacer? I am brain farting . What bearing spacer? Inlighten me Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Bearing spacer? I am brain farting . What bearing spacer? Inlighten me Inside the rear hub there is a tube/sleeve over the stub axle, between the inside races of the inner and outer bearings. There were 3 different size sleeves. I would assume it's to keep from grenading the inner bearing when the nut is torqued down on the companion flange. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I about lost my shit trying to get that damn crimped nut off there. :angry: Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 The spacers wouldn't matter if you're not going to reuse the machined hub "tube"(?)... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The spacers wouldn't matter if you're not going to reuse the machined hub "tube"(?)... Why wouldn't it matter? It locates the bearing spacing on the stub axle. I was under the impression there were also 3 stub axle lengths? No? Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 No. The different spacer lengths are because the bearing bores are machined in separate operations and they couldn't measure the distance/bearing preload correctly so they used different sized spacer to set the preload. If you use new bearings and good fixtures to machine the bearing housings you can use a single size spacer. That's my opinion anyways. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yeah, my thinking was that like Josh's. There's only one part for the stub axle, but 3 for the spacers. Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Maybe Datzenmike can dig it up...... ........I couldn't find him in the search......... I believe it was OC510 or something like that.........he was like 16-17 years old and an amazing fabricator...... .....he was posting here for a minute and disappeared..... He made/or had made a bad ass set of rear control arms exactly the way you're describing........ .........think he said it could take a 9 or 10" rim non-flared......I could be off on those numbers though.......... Anyone remeber this?? 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes. Was a fabricator he knew that built them. I believe the geometry was all f'k up if I remember correctly? Seems like it didn't work out. I like the idea though. I could use a little more clearance on the inside and just get a positive offset wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 If I recall someone on the realm built some, could have been the same guy. Quote Link to comment

Marsh510 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I asked Mario of TSR fabrication a while back inquiring custom rear control arms, he said he had some in the works, and I would be one of the first to know! I've trimmed my control arms enough to fit a 15x9.5 wheel with a 195-45-15 sized tire with rolled fenders. Sorry, i'm into stance 510's. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 So here is a sneak peak at what we are building. Not only does it narrow the rear track but it also allows us to do some camber/toe progression changes. It's still in it's infancy, we haven't checking loads or figured out how exactly we are going to hook the heim joints to the main beam (Boswell Beam) Or where exactly we are going to place the rods (race rods) don't contact any part of the body under full compression. Also we are going to have to hook one joint on the crossmember in single shear. Either way I can't wait to have one in my car!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 You quoted the answer to your question. "Not only does it narrow the rest track..." second sentence of icehouse's post 1 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 That's more what I was thinking, but taking the third link and going straight to the diff or mustache bar Duke posted a similar style setup to that one the thread on the realm. Me and Sam talked about doing something like that. But before doing a more complex setup we want to see if we can get this to work. Until you model something its hard to wrap your mind around the fine details. it already looks like we can dial out most the toe change over the travel we use. Time will tell though. 3 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I had the trailing arm bug up my ass and started a thread on the realm back in 2011. We were throwing ideas around and sssr20det510 posted this. http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18585&hilit=help+redesign+trailing+arm&start=75 3 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah, this is similar to the E36 M3 trailing arm. The E30 is more of a traditional triangle. 1 Quote Link to comment
