IRS Rebuilds

[XjRestorations]

We were very lucky to have Jaguar World Monthly run a little promotion of the IRS rebuilds we advertise on our website.
Following on from this, we have had a surge of orders to have units rebuilt.
The process is pretty straight forward, and the final result is very rewarding. Any members have details of work they have carried out at home the suspension? Any tales of misfortune, or tips for others looking to carry out their own rebuild at home??

Thanks,
Keith

I had a leaking DANA diff on my Daimler Double Six. Advice was that seals etc for the DANAs were hard to get and fit so instead I opted to refresh another one and fit that instead. New discs, calipers, mounting bolts, radius arm bushes etc.

Setting the camber proved interesting. I used the method Bob Bate outlined in the magazine a while back but instead of a camber gauge, elected to use a long steel straight edge and a plumb line to get the angle.

The 'new' diff doesn't leak and the geometry seems OK, but now I wish I had done the UJs as well; there's a ferocious whine from somewhere back there.
