1974 Triumph TR6 - part 59 - Rear Suspension and Diff

[@fredharpua]

Thanks for all the help man! I'm installing CV joints on a 71 TR6 and your videos have helped me through much of the process.

Funny comment about watching Cheftush....you 2 are really lucky to be close to each other!!

One of the weaknesses of the TR6 design can be seen at 1:30 - the studs that hold on the brake back plate and axle are steel - and the trailing arm is aluminum. a little over-tightening with a wrench will strip them out. You can try to re-install them using helicoils or other methods, but this is a critical attachment - it holds the whole assembly together. Best solution - find a replacement trailing arm. Speaking from experience here.

Morning Elin, enjoyed yr skills again, but above all your patience and the pace and tempo of explaining. Thanks so much, eric

Excellent video Elin, taking all the videos together even the novice can follow along and restore the mechanicals on these beauties

Hello Elin, Another great video thanks. A couple of points. My TR6 had the lever arm shocks replaced with telescopics but with the top end just bolting through the inner wing. The car has quite an agressive setup as was built up for track days by the original importer. The top had cracked the inner wing with all the shock being aplied where it shouldnt. So I changed back to brand new lever arm shocks and have been surprised that it really seems to have affected bump steer of the back end. Some day I will get a proper kit for teles that applies the load back into the chassis. A tip from I think Roger Williams re the splines is if you have a bit of slop in them you can try changing side to side and the wear is then on the opposite face when load comes on. I think we all need to use a spacer when dropping the suspension down to full travel during servicing - as those bump stops even new really arent up to full compression I dont think. THanks again Elin . Cheers.

Thanks Elin, great content once again.

[@pda49184]

After watching you assemble all that, I hanker for solid axles and leaf springs ! 🤣

[@DavidSL64]

That was a great video Elin. You’re like a month ahead of me. I’ve finished the frame and mine looks like yours. Now I’ve gotta do the trailing arm / spring / shock overhaul, and then I’m caught up to you. But please keep moving forward, this content is great.

[@andyday8140]

Can you use the TR6 chassis on the GT6

[@johnwilliams-sc1vf]

You should grease those bolts with copper grease for ease of removal in the future

[@randygibson7538]

Elin, I'm new to your channel. I just bought a 1971 TR6. I enjoy your videos a lot. Just curious - why would you not change out the bearings in the differential while you had them out? I look forward to your answer. Thanks, Randy Gibson

[@andyday8140]

How do you put your e brake on is that because it's called a handbrake

[@autka_me]

Hey Elin, do you happen to know what happened with Peter's channel 'Jademuttley'? I cannot seem to find it, he deleted his account, was banned or something?

[@Danny_Petramalo]

I know this is completely going to drive every enthusiast crazy and I apologize in advance haha I got my dads 69 tr6 now and it’s been sitting in the garage for 30 years super clean car all original zero rust. But I’m wanting to put my own taste into the car make it a fun cruising show car and mow when I want it to be and not so low when cursing the interstate. So I’m thinking about going with air bag suspension. In theory can I run air bags in the rear with out the spring? Since air bags have everything integrated?

[@saublejohn1444]

Hey Elin - when and how did you break your leg?

[@RustyBeauties]

About 10 days ago. I showed the kids what not to do when riding the motorized bicycle that I built for them LOL

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Using brand new nyloc nuts ? That’s easy for you to say.....

[@RustyBeauties]

You have no idea how many of those I edit out all the time. I left this one as it was funny 😂
