after we dissembled cleaned and painted all the parts. it was time to re assemble. the goal was to have the rear suspension attached to the car so that it would be able to roll out of the shop onto a trailer.
this is the plan :
1 plan out procedures and find all the parts
2 get barrings in
3 apply all arm bars (not tight)
4 add oil to differential
5 attach to car
doing research, finding out the procedure was most important to the job. we needed to make sure we had a feel and idea as to were the project was going. getting the barrings in were challenging because of how stiff they were. after that everything was pretty simple and strain forward. we attached the sway arms. applied the drums, and put the oil into the differential.
the hardest part was having to contort and maneuver the car and axle so that all 4 arm bars were in place. this was hard because sometimes one bar would be in place but the other were not. also the car had to be at the right height and the axle had to be raised off the ground far enough. this was definitely the hardest part of the project and it took almost 2 classless to complete. it took the willingness to keep trying to keep your hopes up
I learned that lots of tasks can be challenging but its how you react to them that matters. Tech requires more thinking than people think. you really have to examine all your options and ways you can accomplish a task. lots of patience and resiliency to never give up is also needed because lots of challenging tasks are upon us. there are all accomplish able, its how you react and treat the challenges that counts.
things that went well were applying the axle to the car, it was challenging but i really felt a good sense of accomplishment after completing the task. i think me and ben really work hand in hand together in holding, resting, and lining up the axle for each other so we could both apply the bolts effectively . we also really used our head because we had to think of the best angles and best height to have all the parts at, so they would fit into place properly.
so that was what went well and what was challenging.
something that was also very challenging was getting the barrings in. it was very hard to keep the bar in place due to the pressure being put on it. also the barring were insanely stiff and stubborn. strength and the willingness to keep trying to what was most important
overall this was an excellent course and had a blast with all the people.
