Stubb Pins

21st November 2008, 18:22

Can any 1 tell me how to check te stubb pins on my rear axle and how to replace them thanks.

21st November 2008, 18:26

to check them you need to remove the rear arm and look for rust/pitting. to replace them you will need to get some made as you cant actually buy them. unless someone is sellin them on the ebay

22nd November 2008, 19:19

they not the stubs for the trailing arm though? think its the 1s pressed into the beam he means,

22nd November 2008, 19:24

im pretty sure they are stubb pins!

22nd November 2008, 22:35

i know, but i think GMC sells the strubb pins that go on the arms. not the ones in the beam.

i think its the ones on the beam, ive heard from piggy and he says look at he lowering guide, but ive had a look and cant c any mention of them anywr, all i want to do is replace my rear axle, just wondering whats all involved, but as i have bought a second hand beam i want to make sure its not fuked b4 i go to all the hassle of putting it on.

to check the stubb pins you need to remove the arb, torsion bars and then trailing arms

if there is any scoring at all (pits or darker patches) then you wil require a refurb or a different axle and risk that one being damaged aswell

track being your keyword.
Clearly not seen the shit we used to get up to in the early hours of the morning.

thats what fecked the rack, used to make a weird noise after long drives, then it just went.

Then realised prefer not to stone chip my car to shit.

As for saying i cant drive, i can drive fairly well thank you

Just for the record.

Its never been handbraked or on maccy d trays lol

I she was mint when i got her, but then the rallye steelies went on and i went down the rally slag route, then she started to get wounded so i stopped and thought al take her on track instead haha
Almost back to how i bought her now, but with upgradings.
Steering rack needs doing, beam can wait as its not really that bad.
Backbox, manifold, lower strut brace, then small bits and bobs and thats it back to mint again really.

we should have a trip to kielder

BTW your rear beam did you change bearings or just get another beam?

24th November 2008, 13:37

new beam, all bearing and seals, bushes etc

the beam was sweet, just like new

kielder is a bad idea, i will upset you

or put my car through a hedge / ditch

so are there any guides all or anything on the net that will help me, ive tried searching and cant find anything.

30th November 2008, 09:43

doubt there will be a guide as its quite an involved job tbh
not many guys do it (i only know of 2 places by me)

best bet is to pay to get it done really
