ok just pulled front end of coily down to ajust wheel bearings and king pin bearings and there is no ajustmetn??? or is it just me??

the inner races on the wheel berings touch to make them tight, and the king pin bearings have no shims?? wtf?

Coily wheel bearings are not adjustable. Buy new ones.

If the kingpins had no shims then you may find they have been adjusted before and have had them removed to do so.

Sorry but...... Welcome to coilys mate. I have just finished fixing mine(with a lot of help from Steknig). My my hubs were rooted so I got some off a Vitara I think(cheers Fatzook). They have no adjustment, correct, they come with a predetermined preload(i think that's its technical term). The long and the short of it is there fucked!! Get some new ones PM weaves, he has it all. Really well priced also.

well i have to say atleast my hubs look ok...

i am planing on changing to WT hubs and axels soon and NT center to i can run a front locker..

I thought that coily axles were longer than WT?? And coily has high pinion front, so you would need to run WT knuckles with tie rod infront of diff.

someone should at least have a play, and take some proper measurements and stuff

i rekon even tough replacements could be made to work in the rear of a coily with the right bearing placement and drum spacing maybe longer studs..

umm...a few dramas there. yeas, the coilys are a wider axle but have cv with a stub length the same as a vit. lots of work to make it usable on a coily, plus there is the steering issues to deal with as the coily has a hi-pinion centre, the nt aint.

[Saam]

high pinion for the steering arm, forgot about that,

[jonno_racing]

i am planing on changing the steering arm to front of the diff useing Wide track hubs and arms,

also need to change the CV cup (as in end of the housing) over.. weld in job obviously.. and use wide track axels/cv's

is this all corect joe?

Sounds like a bad idea to me.

So everytime you break a CV you will possibly need a WT axle anda coily axle to make a new one?

Just weld the coily diff and move on

[jonno_racing]

no, basicly it will replace the coily axel and cv completley with a w/t one

[Fatzook]

I'll get some measurements of a WT front axle tomorrow. I don't have a coily one to compare to tho.

[jonno_racing]

looks like i am going to have to have mine appart soon anyways so if u get mesuerments i will get some 2.. we can compair!

[KEENSY85]

sorry to hijack the thread but i have a just brouht a nt suz and want wider diffs i was going to sell my coily diffs or swap for wt ones but couldnt find any one to come to the party so im stuck with them,so my question is, what steering setup is the vitara is there no way at all apart from remanufactering an axel to make it compatable?


if u could get the axel modified how much would this cost???

[Fatzook]

Not sure I follow Keensy.

You have a NT sierra? And you want to fit coily diffs?

[KEENSY85]

yes i have a narrow track and want to cut all the coily geer off and mix and match and weld my own perchers on so i think my cv problem is the same as jonno_racing, does any one actualy know for shure if coily axels are longer or if the hubs defently dont fit, i know the hubs are totaly diffrent the cv part looks the same or simular so i dunno guys hurry up and pull ur gear apart lets find out for shure ive a coilly diff if some ones got a wt cv

Coily axles are definitely wider than WT. Coily front diff is different to NT or WT - reverse cut/high pinion. Coiliy CVs look like 1L/Jimny - not same as NT/WT.

Just get some WT diffs IMO. Dump the coily ones at my place...

Or, if it is track width that you want, keep your NT diffs and get some custom offset rims. NT CVs are cheap, but note no CroMos are available for NT!

[KEENSY85]

i would have to get 2inch off set rims to get close to the track width how about some one buys coily diffs and ill go from ther and if there is a will there is a way

How much are you chasing for your coily diffs. Are you in SE QLD?

[KEENSY85]

im in north bris $250 for both complete les brakes from the front or trade for( wide track diffs,only realy need the housings and axels i can use nt every thing els,im not to get rich just build a beast:)

[Fatzook]

Forget the coily diffs. Thats a terrible idea.

Get yourself some wide tracks and -12 or -25 rims.

[KEENSY85]

im chasing know or even jimny i still wana sell the coily diffs so hay nay on the coily nay:p

What?

[coily96]

Do u mean u bought a n/t (leaf sprung) and have a pair of coily
diffs sitting around, then you want to shave the diff housings
and weld perches for leaf springs to fit on?

Yeah thats what he wanted to do.

IMO its not a great idea. A WT diff is far better suited to his needs. Easy upgrades, easy install.......

[KEENSY85]

I know just trying to work with I got ,iv even thought about jimmy diffs. Has any one got wt diffs ,I don't really need the hubs or brakes but I would need the steering rods ,any one have anything reasonable for trade/sale
