I've gotten oddball stuff from Emerson before. Was going to check with them if the other option didn't pan out.

No shock body anyway right now so oil alone is not going to be much of a help.

Matts car got changed over to fox bumps so he has 3 good bumps for sale  i might have enough tube to make 2 cans left. 

not sure how much shock oil we have left.  probably enough to fill at least one

he texted me this morning, I think we'se gon' make a deal.

I was going to ask if you had any can-making tube, and if I might be able to use the shop this weekend for alignment and bump mounting and shock replacement.

I loathe all possible rear bump layouts. Only thing I can see being happy with is either:

- increase rear uptravel - I have ~3” I could gain, which would make it marginal instead of horrible.
- mount bumps high, and contact swaybar end links. .

I plan to do the latter, after next race. Need to order a NASCAR bar like the other two cars. Bumps will land right at the rear corners of the fuel cell.
2” stroke bumps may be better, not sure on that.

Rear setup was SO wrong. No idea how it got where it was. Had just over 3” of shaft showing with spare and full tank. Going to bump that up ~3” and set dual rates low. It was basically riding on the dual rates too. :-X

Some retard must have set this thing up.

Front axle is 1.125” out of true at droop from A pillar base.

Rear was 9/16” out at C pillar base, compounding. Amazing it drove at all straight - but no wonder I couldn’t maneuver in tight quarters. Wheelbase 1.25” off from side to side at ride height.

Rear is down to 1/4” off. Not sure I can do better with the welded upper JJs without getting the axle too far off center. There’s a right and left hand thread in there now, and I have (2) RH heims to work with as replacements. Probably that same retard involved there...

Thanks for the help on this last night, Mike. Getting closer.

Going to go watch Kim run corp challenge tonight, I forgot that was today. If you need the lift, it should be fully rollable. Just no nuts on bolts at the axle iirc.

Hopefully the nicked steering line doesn’t make itself an emergency. Need to measure length and figure fittings on that and get fresh. Boo.

Matt has the PN for power steering pump needed


Any reman will fail in 5-50 miles.   we have lots of data to support this.

I _think_ that knowing that, I got whatever the most expensive option was from CarQuest out there, and that is was not a reman. I want to say $250 ballpark.

I need to find that reciept to get my core back too, that'll verify whatever it is.

Just shove the pile outside, it'll be fine-ish I guess. Really sucks but I've gotta do what I've gotta do. I forgot about the club meeting too. Wasn't realizing it was this week. I'd kinda rather skip it and work on shit I need to get done, of which a meeting isn't at all one. WAY too much going on in the next 2 weeks.

That’ll be nice.

I should be able to get alignment close enough at home, and get those rear uppers out for modification if you have time to run them on the lathe.

Otherwise it’s a bit of plumbing and a broken bolt.

looks like fresh paint and tins pictures show bumps sticking up out of cans with no spacers.

4x4101 2012 is the only pic i can find with spacers in before PSC steering


sorry.   no recollection of they got out

Odd you made it many race miles without issues
