Yeah, you can't really use belt deflection between pulleys to determine the proper tension (not on a timing belt). You either have to measure the distance between the top of the hydraulic tensioner and the tensioner arm or set it so that the grenade pin for the tensioner rod can be easily...
You know, looking again at your pics I think that I was wrong in saying that you need to use the stock cup. Sorry if I caused you any confusion. :)In post #10, looking at the pic of the stock parts item #2 is the washer that goes underneath the large rubber bushing. In the pic of the new...
NO! That's the problem, none of us do.As mentioned, your question is very vague. If you go to the doctor and say, "I don't feel good. What's wrong with me?" I guarantee you he won't be able to help you. Nonetheless, we are trying to help you out.BTW, nice smart ass response to a smart...
Eric, he told me via PM that he was able to find the correct one from a US dealership. He should be receiving it in 2 days. I hope it's the right one. :)
I installed a proper FPR solenoid. I also swapped out the Dodge Dakota vacuum canister for a larger one pulled off of another Mitsubishi. It looks kind of similar to the factory white one used with the Cyclone. One very noticeable difference now is how fast the valves open and close. When...
This shows the cup that we keep talking about.Stock dust boot with the metal cup in place.Dust boot with the cup removed. This is the top surface of the cup that the large bushing usually sits on. If not reusing this cup then you need to use a large washer below the bushing instead...
325# Hypercoils on Koni Yellows. It's a semi-DG setup meaning everything per his instructions but still using the stock upper mounts and bushings (for now). Not sure if it matters, but rear ride height is actually a bit HIGHER than stock as I'm going to try out the "stinkbug" mode.The ride was...
I installed a DC Sports rear STB. It's actually a very well made and rigid STB. But I'm surprised at how much harsher the rear suspension now feels. The difference is VERY noticeable. It replaced a flimsy no-name bar. Nothing else changed during the install.Is this because there is less...
Those bushings look fine. But again, it looks like you have to transfer the cup that goes on top of the bump stop over to the new ones. I don't see it in that last pic.In other words, those dust boots don't come with cups to replace the stock ones (I've seen one that does).
I would pull the shock assembly and recheck it. Make sure no parts are missing and that they're in the proper order. Make sure the cup (#12 in the diagram you linked to) is on there.EDIT: The cup is fitted into the top of the stock dust cover. I'm not familiar with the dust covers that you...
