| AlanMcR Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: US, CA, Los Altos Vehicle(s): G300DT E300DT 230SL Posts: 3500  | Help needed with the installation position of rear transverse link Could one of you duck under the back right of your G and see which way the transverse link is installed? The end knuckles have a bump on one side. This would point either up or down. I didn't record which way it was installed. It doesn't seem to want to go in either way. The transverse link has a bend in it that seems to be intended to clear the differential, though it would clear either direction. I think that you can only see the underside of the knuckle. If you can't see the bump on the knuckle that probably just means that it is pointed up.

AlanMcR - 6/9/2006 10:43 PM Could one of you duck under the back right of your G and see which way the transverse link is installed? The end knuckles have a bump on one side. This would point either up or down. I didn't record which way it was installed. It doesn't seem to want to go in either way. The transverse link has a bend in it that seems to be intended to clear the differential, though it would clear either direction. I think that you can only see the underside of the knuckle. If you can't see the bump on the knuckle that probably just means that it is pointed up. It's down on the end that attached to the axle. This is on my G500. FWIW, can't see top or bottom on the end attached to the body; and, obviously, the bend in the rod is intended to clear the diff.

I suspect the SWB trucks have a different setup than the LWB's because mine has no bend to clear the diff as has been described. Mine has bends at the ends and follows the tank by the diff. No bend in the middle. I hope this can be of some help. I'm having trouble loading photo files. I need to figure out how to get the file size smaller.  -Dai Edited by dai 6/11/2006 1:56 AM (P1000078.jpg) (P1000076_1.jpg) Attachments ---------------- P1000078.jpg (40KB - 9 downloads) P1000076_1.jpg (44KB - 9 downloads) | |
