Really points out how not well built many cars are.  Not a bad way to make a living. Do some quick repairs of questionable quality,customer leaves happy to be able to get back on the sand, car breaks again next time out and get paid to do some more questionable repairs. What more could a guy ask for?

and for the record, as enemy knows well........ after all the years running those cv's at those angles, i have only gotten one of them a touch warm .  rofl
My non plunge 930 ran quite cool also. I did kill one though I believe I got the cage in backwards. When I took it apart it was a bit hard to tell for sure.  ;D

On a side note I have slightly hurt 2 of the 934 non plunge cv's after about 500 miles on big buggy.

I have to give the cv's credit. I have scorched one 4 or 5 times and I mean to the point that steam was coming out of the cv boot through the tear. That cv boot would balloon up then rip a seam. Always the same right hand trans side. Replaced that cv thinking itself was the issue and no change with the new one.  The others have worn pretty good for going on 8 or 9 years.

I went round and round on the lower arms shape for a cosmetic look along with functionality. Really wanted to use the mini tie rods for easy adjustment but just had this nagging voice In the back of my head saying it will bend. As did I.

Not happy, cosmetically, with the upper but more then functional.  Had to be slightly wider then i wanted to catch that specific section of frame in the rear.  Couldn't move the front back to to clearance of the trans side cover bolts and the ability to remove the trans.  The lower, with some bracing , checks both boxes. The lower carries most of the loads.

Width to length ration on rear a arms......lowers 78% and uppers 70%.

For those that do not know, I run 28" long axles and non plunge 930 cv's. When I ran the busa engine, these same cvs were limited to 35* of downward angle for close to 6 years. Then, the conversion to the turbo 2.3 and megasand, limited to 30* downward angle. I did so because I wanted to stretch the wheel base a touch to 117". Was hoping for 120" but close enough.  In doing so the axle had to run at a slight swept back angle. So technically that cv was again operating close to 35* at full droop.  Cvs maintain tq specs at higher angle but run hotter. Heat kills cvs where u joints are weaker at higher angles but run cooler.

So , I corrected that with this iteration. The axle is now straight out and I will prob limit the cv to 30* down angle. I suppose its time to retire them for new as well and rcv is slooooooow to return information or ship product.  Preliminary measurement shows ill be 113" wheel base with axles straight out and looking like 89 to 90" track width rear.
I can look,I think I have 3 new spares if it will help. You can replace when we go to LS.No hurry.

Thanks for the offer on the cv's. I have 2 new ones for now and will order 2 more. They offer a rebuild kit for the non plunge 934 but not the 930. I called and asked why, guy said he would ask the tech as he didn't see why they couldn't offer a rebuild kit for the 930 as well. Said he would call me back that day......that was 2 weeks ago!


As far as carrying the upper rear out onto the weld bung......that was my intention, but someone didn't cut the frame side to length first!  :nw. So what you see is what happened. To be error on the side of caution, I drilled a 3/8" hole though the side of the tube before inserting the bung. Plug welded the bung in and then welded the end. I do agree with overlapping the two though.

I seem to recall the old rzr belt issue is not solved?

I believe the belt will always be an issue no matter the manufacturer. Its the weak link for a reason imo.

What a cluster of morons . Are we sure the speed thing is really a long wait and $$$$$$ ???  Got some cool gadgets for sure.

 :m :m

Not sure its a long wait anymore but still pricy.
