i have had this issue before . turns out the aftermarket CV pin hole was drilled off by a fraction and ovaled out the pin. rule of thumb if its a *************** to install youll play hell getting it back out cuz somethings not right

i ran without roll pins for 2 years. the CV cannot come completely out but at the same time they weren't meant to be slip yokes so if you wait too long you will get unwanted slop in the splines and eventually they will fail

came out perfectly !!!!!!!! no vibration at any speed !!!!!! except for when i had the tire shop install the center caps they didn't recenter the wheels . so as long as i personally center and snug down the 2 original studs then tighten the other 4 this was a complete success..... Kudos and mad props to the one who originally figured this retrofit out !!!!! i should have done this 12 years ago

its gold with the brown stripe only missing blinker lenses and the front badge. the front interior is perfect the back wheel well covers have cracked badly and there is some minor rust on the front fenders . you can call (303)364-4221 and inquire about the sale of the either 78 or 79 L-line they have in stock

very clean 99 % of parts still remain . looks like the guy may have just given up looking for parts . please dont let this go complete to the crusher .super sweet find for anyone on the front range

the red hatch was still there last week when i got those D-50 rims in fact the drivers side fender is now bolted to my car.

hmmmm that big bolt under the back seat works like air shocks 8)> if only you could get it to turn with a push of a button instead of using a impact. if you click on my homepage you can see that pick for which i spoke of

yea im in the process of doing the conversion now . i have a picture of me doing what i suggested to you with the exact rim size you were asking about but dont know how to post pix. btw i had 2" of clearance from the front fender on stock height requiring me to use a 35 series tire so i went with a 14 " D-50 rim with 195/60R14

if you havnt done the conversion yet whack out two opposing studs and bolt the rim on. turn the rim so its pointed at the closest thing it can possibly hit . then set the car back down on a piece of carpet or wood to compress the suspension to normal ride height .use a tape measure and this link to calculate your max tire size. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Metric_To_Inch_Tires.html

i went to the junk yard to get a set of 1990 mazda B2600i sweet alloy rims but some choad swooped 2 of em before i got there. about the same time they put out a D-50 with super clean chrome rims and i attacked it. i dont want to redrill because my car is super clean and freshly restored and i dont want to put anything on that looks idk strange . and they fit my wagoneer so when i get my lift i can still drive it in the garage for storage. hmmmm when i lift my soob i can also swap on my 15X8" alcoas with 33" thornbirds heck i already have 3" spacers why not !!!!

i got my tires on order 195/60R14 FALKEN ZE-912 . got my bit on order 35/64 high speed steel (= to the 13.8mm Phizinza was looking for). i have my transfer punch set and a set of older dodge D-50 rims that match the original rims offset and a template rim . ok i think im set. if there is any other advice anyone can give me i'd surely like to hear it. my project starts when the drill bit arrives.8)>

could be a worn CV or possibly the carrier bearing in the transmission . ive had some of those same issues before

i have my spare tire from my wagoneer . does using the rim render it completly useless ?have you had any vibration issues?

I'm trying to figure out a slightly more scientific way to center the placement of the drill bit other than Phizinza's use of eyeballing a large center punch. no matter what i know i will feel that "shot in the dark" @ 80mph. i am pretty new here and i know there are plenty of posts about this conversion but using the keyword search i am unable to use 4,to,6,or lug in my search. plz help i want this done so i can get my Impreza back from my GF 8P
