Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Wouldn’t it rub on the passenger side in that case? Our panhard bars are mounted on the right side so the axle would shift left when lowered and right when lifted

lowered the axle shifts right so does the control arm, which forced the bolt to hit on the frame
panhard bar is mounted top left and lower right, when lowered it moves right, not left

Unless you are looking at it from the front then left becomes right and right becomes left.... lol

I always try to use the terms Driver side and Passenger side when talking vehicles to avoid any confusion.

Or as Derick from Visegrip garage would say, Driver side and drinkers side... lol

She bit me in the ass again. Drove it to work yesterday morning and 1/2 to work i had almost no brakes. Made it to work ok. Checked it later and found the rear line i replaced last week wasn't secured and broke after being pinched between the frame and bump stop. Luckily I had another line with me--pack of 2. Replaced that, then the line was leaking like a faucet at the compression fitting--what I had fixed last time. Gave up and drove it home with no brakes.

This hose was a week old.
It wasn't leaking, it was actually squirting out whenever the pedal was stepped on.

Does anyone know the part number or where/how i can find the rear brake line on the ds that goes from that little brass "splitter that's mounted above the rearend(pumpkin) housing. Line goes from there into the rubber brake line that goes into the caliper. I have copper replacement line with the fittings to make my own line, but I'd rather buy it if it's available--and cheap enough.
