Re: Additional Angle Drive Questions

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

I found the manufacturer's name in an archived post after the original
message was sent. Moderator was nice enough to cut & paste it in. I'm
just glad I didn't have to lay in the driveway in the rain to find it!

I could swear my gears are metal, not plastic. After the weather
breaks I'll verify that (have been mistaken about my little silver car
before...)

Was your spindle cable wound with normal left wheel rotation or
against it? Mine is wound the wrong way, which caused it to unwind
rather catastrophically at 80 mph. When the repair was spliced in, I
ran solder all the way down into the housing to prevent future
unwinding. The remaining original cable is now just a stub (with a
square receiver on the end) so it doesn't need to flex to install
around the lower control arm & spring. A solid shaft (square ended),
permanently attached to the wheel disc, is inserted straight from the
outside. Works excellently so far...

Also, was your lubrication hole right side up or upside down? Mine
points towards the pavement.
