Wife called at 5 says she’s working late, so I told her I was going in garage to prep car to pull the rear end tomorrow well, it’s 6:25 and I am cleaned up and sitting on couch with a beer, had no clue it would come out that easy, passenger side front trailing arm bushing is totally gone, but that’s a job for tomorrow!!! 5 o clock 6:20
Well done! But it is not a difficult job. The hardest part for most is separating the exhausts. - for others it may be dropping the radius arms. Once these are done it is very straight forward..

yep, I had the rear out of the XJS in 25 minutes……but brakes and tail shaft and exhausts were already out.
I had to cut the exhaust off as it went under the cage and I left no provision for removal, drivers side radius arm popped off easily with a pry bar, passenger side one separated as soon as I put pressure on it… need to add a new rubber brake
pine to my parts list, no point I. Replacing everything else and using that 39 year old hose!!
I have new mounts!! . Got whole thing stripped down now, found a few issue along the way, someone definitely was in there before me! One of the 4 studs that go through the brake disk is snapped off one one side, all the shims / spacers for the control arms are in pieces( will start a new thread on that) oh and I snapped off the vent…. Should be fun!!
Oh and one of my rear shocks came apart, never seen. That happen before….
I will also be posting tin the classifieds to see if there’s any interest in my carrier and gears, is only a 2:88 but it’s a power lock..

Nows a great time for GAZ shocks and new springs. Great job so far. Should be fun!!

now is a good time to pop in gaz shocks and new springs. Great job so far.
Or, 185mph on 25" tires, .70 O.D., and 5000rpm. I'm pretty sure mine won't have the HP to push the car through the air at that speed,.....but on paper, wow.
My 3.54’s & .7 overdrive = 2.48’s. Wished I’d went with a 3.90. The rat will pull, but the OD vacuum switch is fussy and slips out of lock up too easily below 65.
