AMC Trunnion Suspension Rebuild & Parts Exploded View

[@joegutierrez2019]

Boy this brings back a lot of memories I had the AMC Hornet and my neighbor had the Javelin we worked a lot on the weekends with them

[@LakesideAutobody]

Good good times I'll bet. If you have any super AMC secrets, lay them on me. This is the first AMC I ever owned :)

A man that wears many hats, good job Jerry,have a great weekend sir

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks YY - you have a good weekend too my friend 👍💯🏈

[@moparnut6286]

Very cool ... It's like a rudimentary version of a modern strut... Pretty neat if you ask me... And wouldn't be hard to convert to a more modern version.. But I wouldn't change it... thanks Jerry for sharing it with us.

[@partonkevin]

I was thinking the same thing. It looks like the MacPherson strut used the idea of the trunion and slipped a shock inside.

👍💯😀

This promises to be a very interesting part of your channel. Have a great weekend Jerry!

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks Jim - I'm really looking forward to getting this thing running - that's goal number 1 - then onto the body :)

[@hickeyskustomresto]

Haven't seen one since the early 90's. That cosmo looks great 👍

[@LakesideAutobody]

I'm really liking it too - thanks for checking it out HKR

Very interesting suspension Jerry. I’ve rebuilt straight axle king pins and everything up to strut suspension but never have seen that type. Something new for old timers. Have a great weekend

[@LakesideAutobody]

It's like the beginning of the strut suspension - thanks for watching Greg.

[@BruceLyeg]

Totally a primitive or at least predecessor to the McPherson Strut. Ahead of its time. Have a great weekend!

[@LakesideAutobody]

It does resemble the strut - here we though AMC was the bottom of the barrel. You have a good one too my friend :)

[@Avtovaz21057]

Hey Jerry, wow, its surprising how all that load is on a bearing. Your strut bar is in the back, wow, mine are in the front, but i have big torsion bars one for each side of course where your strut bar is

[@LakesideAutobody]

The torsion bar eh? Chrysler?

[@sheldon26815]

I have been watching all your art work. Is it possible to fix a nineties gmc bumber rusted out? Thanks.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks Sheldon - anything can be fixed. I only work on my own stuff at the moment. I live in a residential neighborhood and those are the rules. No rules against making YT videos though - at least not yet 🥴

[@sheldon26815]

@@LakesideAutobody cool. I have been playing with medal for a couple decades doing soffit , cladding and siding. A warm shop and on the ground, looks like my kinda job. Lol Got a beat up 94 gmc Ill try tackling. Have total confidence thanks to your vids. Have a press and break to assist. What gauge medal is standered? And size of mig wire needed? Thanks for the knowledge

[@LakesideAutobody]

Use 22 or 20 gauge that's ~ .030" & .035" I like .023" wire - maybe just cause I'm used to it. .030" works fine to but I can feel it "hit" the metal at least I think I feel it. Anyway both work fine. Feel free to ask any ?s when you get to it :)@@sheldon26815

[@damxgopak457]

What did you use to compress your spring

[@LakesideAutobody]

I'm glad you asked that 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4TWfoykm66jodE

[@sheldon26815]

For some reason I cant see your replies on any videos.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Can you see the reply to your comment?

[@sheldon26815]

Yes. But nothing for all the videos I have watched. Wierd.
