Did I hear right...? As 3:30 I heard "21 Volts are 350 INCHES PER SECOND of wire..." Did I hear right...? Isn't 350 inches the same as 29 FEET PER SECOND...? Wound't you have a "pond of metal" in the weld by the 3rd to 4th second...?

Does poly bushings need to be PRELOADED? Some say no !! M not sure
@GarageFab
@GarageFab 5 күн бұрын
For the type shown in this video, no! Preloading is NOT necessary. These are allowed to rotate similar to a bearing so they can spin indefinitely without damage. Bonded bushings (most often rubber) must be loaded first before tightening the bolt because tightening them with the suspension drooping will cause the bearings to over-rotate and tear. Hopefully this makes sense. Lemme know!

Perfect! I’d highly recommend installing Zerk fittings or finding someone to do it for you. They will squeak. It’s only a matter of time. It’s just the nature of polyurethane. Unless you’re not easily annoyed, you’re really gonna want to be able to lube them up without having to take them apart.

Pretty risky commitment welding in the 4-link without knowing your driveshaft angle. You will need to be between a 9-11 degree driveshaft angle to maintain a <3 deg pinion operating angle.

I'd watch you explain how to assemble a puzzle or anything else you want to explain. Youre that good. Nice job on the drywall demo. I spent a career in contruction and removed tons of drywall. I never understood why all the remodling shows on tv show somebody bashing a drywall apart with a sledge hammer. Take it off in the biggest pieces possible like you did. It saves time in cleanup and creates way less dust.

Why don't driveshafts use CV joints?
@GarageFab
@GarageFab 7 күн бұрын
Occasionally CVs are used on driveshafts. My guess on why it’s not more common is simply cost. When vehicle manufacturers build millions of vehicles, pinching pennies is really important. CV joints use a lot more material and are more difficult to manufacture so that equals more $. And because U joints work just fine when set up properly, there’s no need to spend the extra money. Just my guess though. 🤷‍♂️

You could have welded together 2 right angles to make a T, or bought a T, and used that for the top rail. That way you could use the tool mounts so that can't come loose or tip, but they could still slide left to right.

Fantastic video! Loved it. One question though: you never mentioned about the actual operating angles of each U joints in a single cardan shaft. Do they really need to be at no more than 3 degrees? On my FJ Cruiser I have transfer case and differential flange angles marching at 3 degrees. The drive shaft has a 10 degree slope. The operating angles in each U joint is 7 degrees and I am getting vibrations between 90 and 105 km/h. :( O can adjust yeh rear pinion angle to minimise the U joint operating angles, but then both, transfer case and Differential, won't be parallel anymore... :/

@GarageFab
@GarageFab 11 күн бұрын
Not stupid at all, Charlie. First lemme make sure I’m understanding you. The way I’m interpreting that question is you want to notch both ends of a short tube and you want it to fit between two other tubes. If I’m wrong, ignore the rest of this and clarify. First measure the distance between the 2 existing tubes. You said it’s 2”? In theory if you were to cut a 2” length of tube, it would fit tightly between your other tubes but it wouldn’t wrap around the way it would if it were notched. So you essentially need to ADD material meaning the 2” is actually the distance between the throats of the notches on each end. Remember when notching equal sized tubes, the notch depth will be 1/4 the diameter of the tube. 1/4 of a 2” diameter is 1/2”. There will be a notch on each end so two notches that are 1/2” each will require an extra 1” of material. All that said, you’ll cut a length of tubing at 3”, and carve in two 1/2” deep notches. That should fit nicely. Getting that piece in between two other tubes that have already been welded is another story. 😆 This stuff can be confusing, especially in writing, so hopefully I didn’t make things worse. Lemme know!

I can totally relate on the point of nobody explaining the “why.” I have to understand the “why” also before i can move ahead with anything. For example: i can’t for the life of me find on the internet or from people the answer to the question “Why use a 4 link for a street truck rather than a leaf spring setup”. There are tons of vids of guys installing 4 links for off road, for lowering, and for regular street use, but nobody ever says why! It’s just assumed it’s better. Meanwhile, there is a huge contingent of guys that swear by leafs, and say 4 link is a waste of money. They can’t explain why either, just vague statements like “ride quality”. What does that really mean? I’m building a ‘72 Bronco from ground up. Clean slate. I an a very aggressive street driver. I like to drive, corner, brake, and accelerate fast. Which is better for that, 4 link or leafs? WHY? I dunno. Thanks for all you do!

I have a very specific question about Honda civic/Crx/Del Sol, Trailing arm bushings. There is a discussion about using poly bushings in the trailing arms some people seem to love them and some warn that they will cause snap oversteer because they limit the movement of the trailing arm (Binding) and i just can't come to a conclusion about it. When i hear people warn about them i start to wonder if they might have installed them wrong not rotating them correctly before lowering the car down or something else in their suspension setup that's wrong maybe too stiff sway bar? And when i hear people praising the poly bushings i wonder if they maybe just don't drive the car hard enough to ever experience the issue? One thing i do know is that people will follow ideas they might not understand and I don't understand suspension geometry enough to even make a decision between the two groups of people. I now that this a very specific question about a specific car and you might not have the answer but the 50/50 opinion is driving me crazy enough to start asking the question in other places like right here. Maybe if you someday get your hands on a Civic EG or Del Sol you could make a video about it, Just be ready for some heavy fights in the comment section.😅 I'm thinking about reaching out to a few poly bushing manufacturers to hear what they have to say about it but I also know that every business want to sell things and make money so the answers are probably going to be skewed to a very positive outlook on the trailing arm bushings that they are selling. Either way this video is incredibly good it helped me out allot in making my own bushings, Thank you!🙂
