Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all

I have the original C303 parts microfish and have just taken some prints of the important areas ( the axles ). If anybody would like a copy of the prints aemail me at jamie.mcfarlane@volvo.com and i will see what i can do to get you a set.

Jamie

what do you do at volvo?
How long have you been there?

Reason i ask is my old man used to work for volvo trucks a few years ago now. He worked in the training dept.

I work as a Production Engineer. I look after the computer network that controls the programing of the ECU's (computers) in the trucks.
In the latest model the can be up to 22 ECU's.
I have been here 10 years.
What is your dads name, I will prob know him

i am told these axles dont have kingpin bearings, more of a kingpin bush, can you get these?

and how much?

CJer YGM

hey JK

tell terrano kid to get out here and email jamie for those parts list!!

I'm onto it...

Yea for some reason i have not been able to get to the old forum

also tell the young bloke about the kingpin bushes!!

CJer, I emailed TK earlier. We are thick as thieves on this one...

TK must be out for an extended Friday lunch or something heh heh

I've sent you an email Jamie.

DUDE

did you think about the bushes :o

hey rob
i gotta go soz :(

thats cool see ya bye!! 8)

The Malaysian guy said the king pins have a tendency to work loose but didn't say much about bushes. I'll ask him if he has trouble with them. Can't you get bushes made up quite easily though? I thought that was the case.

My old mans name is richard teniswood, he used to work with Col Dobson

Yep i rember both Richard and Col please give them my regards when you see them

you others that emailed me i will answer you on monday ( got the weekend off to work on the jeep

The volvo's don't have traditional king pin bearings or bushes but have hemisperically shaped steel plain bearings running in woven friction material lined seats similar to LandRovers ''Railko'' bushes. A 5/8'' unf bolt and nut is used to snug the bearings against the seats. If these bolts are allowed to loosen all the side loadings are taken by the relatively weak bolt itself and not the hemisperical bearings.The bolts break and among other things destroys the Birfield. If kept in good fettle Volvo axles are very strong and reliable.
