Cleaning the joints – pictures

Axles in progress (nearly completed)

And finally, where they should be:

There was one funny thing with the shafts/axles which I forgot to tell. For some reason I looked the 4A-GE axle lengths for the whole time which were bit different and I accidentally cleaned the short A/T axle as well :\>\> no biggie, but what Maladar said made me think: “it isn’t that easy to change your habits to more systematic, we should have been more systematic and use marker pen to mark the ones coming from M/T”. I think the usual “measure twice, cut once” applies here as well. We’ve been using the “measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk and cut with axe” -method…

I torqued everything to spec. If you mean those nuts which secure the axles to the hubs, they are currently torqued to 186Nm 🙂

You did remember to tighten drive shaft nuts before burning your Firestones, didn’t you?

I need to connect the left side lower suspension arm and connect tie rods from both sides… and of course those big nuts that secure the driveshafts into the hub 🙂 then the exhaust and hmm, what else there could be? Hopefully nothing big 🙂
