blknight rope trick

[dobbo]

After returning home from a post cooling system flush highway speed test I discovered a whining noise coming from the rear axle. Upon closer inspection I discovered my rear pass side spring had partially dislocated. :o:o:o:o:eek: it would have been from yesterday driving one of Tusker's old Tuff Trip tracks (the one near the Lodge) only done close to 200km's since then

Looking at the options available at 0000hrs I decided to relocate it the quick way using Blacknights rope trick he showed me.

Took the car to the local flex spot (naturally the ground was covered in mud from the storm earlier) flexed it up to compress the dislocated spring and tied it off in the compressed position

turned the car around 180 horizontally and nearly vertically due to the compressed spring:o

flexed up car again (opposite side) so the compressed spring can be located roughly in it's right spot with any means possible, (light truck style tyre iron and a large flat blade screw driver)

untie the rope and then drive forward using the cars weight to properly re seat the spring.

Close enough.....


for safeties sake though, its ment to be done using a chassis jack to lift and lower the vehicle.

Honestly, it you didn't have those silly trendy curly springs you wouldn't need any of that malarkey. :p
