[QUOTE="FiveOhJoe, post: 12676674, member: 142535"] Got started on things today. Here are some pics: Parts pile: (the two bolts on the bottom left of the picture are new rear subframe mounting bolts. Ditching the MM button head bolts) [ATTACH=full]421790[/ATTACH] Got the car on stands. MM instructions say you need 19" of clearance from the ground to the pinch weld, but that is totally unnecessary. I have 16" here and there was room to spare [ATTACH=full]421791[/ATTACH] Measured my pinion angles...... [ATTACH=full]421792[/ATTACH] And then things got interesting. let me first say that the car was reported as being in an accident a few years ago, and the IRS subframe was replaced as a result. I know that because the subframe has UPS Second Day Air stickers on it. Pretty sure Ford wasn't UPS'ing these to the assembly line lol. So I start looking around underneath the car just because I wanted to get a good feel of what I'm doing. And I noticed the nut was missing from the bolt that holds the front/left subframe mount in the car. That may cause some clunk! [ATTACH=full]421793[/ATTACH] Then I find this.....one of the reasons I went with the full FTBR kit was to correct my drive-line angles. I had nasty vibes almost all the time. Here is what I find.......3 of the 4 ds to pinion flange bolts are backed out. The other one was just finger tight. That may cause some vibrations huh? [ATTACH=full]421794[/ATTACH] And after about 4 hours....VOILA! it's out. [ATTACH=full]421795[/ATTACH] Dropped off the differential today to get completely rebuilt. Tomorrow I will clean up the subframe, press the new bearings and hub in on each side, paint what needs re-painting, then start installing the FTBR components [/QUOTE]
