Rodeo SAS with coils !!

Post by Vulcanised »

as some of you may have seen on the 4WDM forum and the general tech section of this forum, i'm doing a SAS on the Deo with coils all round. should end up with nearly 10" lift with the conversion and 35" tyres.... running on GQ diffs, disc brake rear, 4.88:1 gearing... will post more about it when i get more stuff in for it... i thought i would start a thread here for the isuzu boys to discuss :) I'm getting very keen!!!

Looks awesome. I'd be interested in seeing how you you attached front axle. Also, is the AU spec rodeo a recirc ball or rack & pinion steering setup? Mark

it's a reciurculating ball steering. When it's done, i will be using the Nissan steering box, i don't think the OE one would stand up to the job.

time.........

Post by Guzzi »

Tony,
Well I finally found time to fit your front diif to my rodeo.
What a right front bottom of a job on your own.
Surprise surprise no leaks and all works as advertised.
I had to change the side thrust washers to get the clearences in the lokka correct.
Holden/Isuzu dont miss a trick, not one fricken seal or bearing in that axle is available anywhere else but holden $pares.
Also had to buy 2 new axle assemblies ($400 for both trade at repco)as the bearing area for the needle bearing in the knuckle looked like surface of the moon, unfortunately all the ones I got off you were no better or worse.
Fixed a few areas of rust on the cross member mounts and the torsion bar tension mounts while I was in there.
So its all in and working and only cost $800 more than Id counted on, typical project eh.
So hows your extravaganza going?
Reliability lies in the state of your wallet.........
Enjoy your family,friends and kids,remember no one gets out alive.
