Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks Bill. I will try that.

Hi Forgive my ignorance, but I have a question on removing the axle shaft and CV from the Volvo portal. I have remove hub form the swivel housing(excuse the terminology) and removed the rubber CV boot. However the CV and shaft will not cone out of the hub. I assume that you need to remove the "plug ...

Thank you N*A*M I was hoping that someone would be able to provide me with a part number. I did approach my local Volvo dealer, but they have never even heared of a C303 let alone be in a position to supply me the correct part. While I am at it, is there a particular weak area in the C303 axle that ...

Hi

I am looking for spares for a Volvo C303 axle (rubber CV boots at this stage). Can anyone put me in contact with a supplier or have any other good suggestions.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi All I am in the process of purchasing an Atlas II transfer case and need advise on what ratio I should go for. I am using a 1996 Chevy 350 Vortec motor, with a TH350 Auto Transmission (1st gear ratio of 2.52), Volvo portals (with 5.99 ratio) and will be running 35-37 inch tyres. I have the option ...

Thanks all I ordered the 5.99's, but was unsure what I had received when I saw the 11X32 on the diff. That clears that up. Dabbylonglegs, the diff is offset to the right, not sure of the exact amount of offset. I will check tonight. However, I will most proberbly be using a new 4 link setup (front ...

Hi all

My Volvo portals finally arrived yesterday. On the side of the diff is a small identification plate that reads "Ratio 11X32". Can anyone advise how this translates to the total ratio of the diff (ie. 5.99:1 or 7.14:1).

Any advise will be appreciated.

Hi all I think I am starting to understand all this AS, jacking, anti-dive etc. and how to go about putting together a 4 link suspension on a normal axle. However, I would like to know what influence portal reducing hubs have on locating the links and does one use the same methods for calculating AS ...

Easy now

Thanks everyone for the advise. Dave, as I mentioned in my first post, this vehicle is only used off road so road worthty cert. is not the issue. What I am looking for are links that will provide good articulation, stability and prevent axle wrap, which if I understand correctly, is more of a ...

Thanks

Hi landy-man Good to hear from someone from this part of the woods. Where are you based now? There are many trails in the area, but the challenges mainly held in brick quarries etc. I have been reading on the Pirate forum but am reluctant to post there in fear of a roasting. They are extremely ...

In South Africa, where ...
