New dogbones=no shimmy
I've just done the dogbones and my rear-end low speed shimmy is GONE
Back to the 'magic carpet ride' that we know and love. Just a couple of issues that might face the home spannerman:
1. Follow Bo's (Zeuk) good advice and either lift the axle (I put the wheel back on and lowered the car as I only have 1 jack) to get that outside bolt in otherwise you'll be there all day getting it lined up.
2. You might want to put a self tapping washer under the top nut on the inside bolt. If you don't you'll find in nearly impossible to get a spanner on the top nut with the wheels on (when torquing under load). It can be done but there'll be no skin left on your knuckles and heaps of swearing going on.
Thanks to all especially Zeuk and Shogun via Big Kriss for the excellent info.
Cheers
