What benefit do you *think* tubular LCAs will do for you?

Better read THIS first (hint: the link is not just about poly):
Polyurethane Bushings

so apparantly the place i ordered the abs reluctor ring from said that is discontinued. NOBODY NOWHERE has these things. Question- would it be ok to clean up the one i have and re-use that? It only has 6 or 7 busted teeth and only half are broke off and since it is magnetic maybe it would be ok? Idk i am about to give up. I did find one on ebay but that might take 2-3 weeks for shipping. I did order it but is it possible to use my old ring and just put the new one in once it arrives?

^ Did you try TACreations? Jeff there is great. Ebay, junkyard or someone selling on this or other forums like LS1Tech is your next best bet.

I would not put that broken part back in, why risk more problems?


Also, here's a video showing why you want a Watts Link to replace your Panhard Bar:

I was wondering is watts links had been introduces to these cars. I lime them in air bagged set ups and since I got this car that image popped in my head especially when I was on a rough *** road. The shook side to side. I forgot how these cars rode and I don't like it. Lol

that thing is expensive!!!!!!!!! But looks like a very nice upgrade. I will probably just get a torque arm and a panhard rod for now but will def keep that on the "want list"
also if anybody has any suggestions of how to get the reluctor ring on the dif. i broke my old one in half very easily while trying to see if i could get it on there. Maybe heat up the new one in the oven when i get it and it will go right on?? I am not looking forward to worrying about breaking the last one i can find on earth, because of not knowing how to correctly seat it on there

Put it between the carrier and the gears and slowly tighten up the gears and insure the ring is sliding on nicely. Keep doing that until the gears are torque to specs. To remove from you take your gears off and then gently tap it off with a rubber mallet or peice of wood and a hammer.
