Euan Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Can someone please explain to me how you do the silicon tube/O-ring trick to keep the dogbones in? I can't figure it out! Cheers, Euan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300ZXZ31 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Just put a slice of fuel tube into the drive cups then insert the dogbones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J C Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Ive had this problem with my rush, you need new drive cups that the bones go into at the wheel end, there probs worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 nar not really just cut a little bit off some fuel tube, about 1 or 2 mm, then put it INSIDE thye cup part where the dogbone will be rubbing against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex199020 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 When you say in the cup do you mean where to o-ring goes into the diff cup?? (im using the savvy as the example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 i think so yeah, or i suppose you could put it on the shaft so that the cup is stuck out a little further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex199020 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 i take it the idea is to stop play with the dogbone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 yes and no, to stop the dogbone moving so freely that it can fall out, and to stop the dog bone being so tight it doesn't wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsa SRI Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Dogbones falling out huh? maybe you should take it to the vet? sounds nasty mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex199020 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 lolol Should the dogbones have anyplay or are they ok if they dont? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 yeh cos then when the wheels/shocks raise the dogbones will get stuck and stop the suspension working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex199020 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 just put some tubing in.,..just enough to stop play on the dogbones and its fine all the way through the suspension travel. will have to see how it is when driving (have to wait over a month for that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euan Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Okdoky......put some tube in the cups.......they dont seem to move as much so I hope it has done the trick! Cheers, Euan PS.....just got an email from Apex models.....my Hyper 7 is being despatched tomorrow!!! Yipeee!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 All u need todo is stick some tube or the silicone 0 rings in Till there is NO play, but the susspension should be able to move freely I hadtodo this after i put the hardened diff cups in as for they are smaller then stock But never had a dog bone problem since i padded it all up!
