Found your channel this morning, subscribed, and learning. Thanks for keeping it simple and interesting. As a old racer this is great stuff.

[@stockcarsurplus]

I'm glad you found it, Gregory! I appreciate the compliment. Thank you for subscribing and supporting the channel!

[@donnieeatherly510]

Well, I wish I would have discovered this video a week ago. I just completed installing my rebuilt rear end. Great job on keeping it simple and to the point. I Learned a lot and will subscribe because I'm new to owning a retired Nascar and I have much more to learn.

Danny thanks for your clarity in describing the axle install. I never knew that there is that much to a reared. Keep up the great builds.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks Jake ! I appreciate it and your support! Glad you enjoy the channel!

Learned a lot. Wanna learn more. Especially about squaring up the circle track/oval track cars for road course work.

I have no idea how i am just now finding your channel! I race motorcycles but im FACINATED with stock car technology....super entertaining vids man!

[@stockcarsurplus]

I'm glad you found it ! Thanks for watching, I greatly appreciate your compliment and support !

[@TheIrkenSIR]

Thank you for the technical detail on what I rather naively thought was a fixed rear end. I had no idea that camber would be welded into the housing. I'm not that familiar with the history of oval track racing but what you have provided gives me a greater appreciation of the ingenuity in car set up to make these things turn left.

[@stockcarsurplus]

I'm glad you enjoy the channel Liam ! Thanks for taking the time to comment and support the channel!

The road course cars do a lot more than just turn left...

great video always wondered how a nascar race car was put together

[@stockcarsurplus]

Thanks Mike ! Glad you enjoy the channel!

[@greglammers9905]

Thanks for the videos. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. I have been around dirt race cars and MX bikes most of my 64 years. I am amazed at the detail in these ford 9” housings used in nascar asphalt racing. I am currently finishing up a brand new USRA hobby stock car. Always learning.

Thanks Rodney! I greatly appreciate the kind words and your support of the channel!

[@davidjohnson8474]

I really like seeing how things have improved! I was on several Busch north cars it's cool to see how much my life would have been better in 95-2001! I know it's over kill for the street but I'm thinking of using housing setup like this. But a super speedway one I think for the street and drag racing. Your videos are awesome.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Reminds me of my ARCA days. Good stuff

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Excellent video. Question about how the camber and toe is set into the axle. Is it how the hub, threads on to the end of the housing because it looked like they were angled right at that point. Or is it in the torque tube itself by doing what was done on the older vintage race cars I used to restore. Where they would do what's called, "Gronking" the tube itself. Again excellent video. Very informative.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Camber is set multiple ways, in this housing it's how the hub snout is welded into the axle tube.

[@happywrenching33]

I think it's pretty cool how Leo Jackson and Andy Petree designed the rear axle camber.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Evolution of the sport !

[@bko120576]

Thanks for taking the mystery out of this task, looks very doable for a diy'er especially with correct information shared. One question though, when installing the truck arms on the front mounts out of the three holes you choose the middle, is this be best road course duty? Thanks.

[@stockcarsurplus]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoy the content! I set them in the middle as a base setting, I won't know which of the 3 mounting holes I will use until the car is complete with the correct springs in it. Once it is and I have it on set up stands I can make adjustments to it and set the pinion angle. For now it's just a base setting.

[@matthewmason1996]

What kind of gauge are you using to find the camber on the rear, and where could I get one? My housing doesn’t have any numbers on the inside, just “LR3” stamped on one side and “LR5” stamped on the other side. Both stamping are on the outside of the housing on beside the pumpkin.

[@stockcarsurplus]

I have an actual set of housing measurement gauges and stand that came from a race team.

[@fxpain22]

Wondering how you got the inner seals in. Tap them in woth a hammer? Turn them in?

[@stockcarsurplus]

👍

[@Riley2cd]

Why did you chose a front mounted spring as appose to a rear; can you explain the benefits for a R/C application if there is any?

[@stockcarsurplus]

Great Question! NASCAR standardized the rules, and the spring has been mounted in the "stock" truck arm location in front of the rear axle housing since the 80's. Secondly, there's no room behind the housing for the spring to mount since the downsizing of the chassis to 110" wheelbase in 1981.

[@Riley2cd]

@@stockcarsurplus Thank you for the information.

[@hbigralpg]

Danny does the rear track bars have to be set at a certain degree?

[@stockcarsurplus]

Great Question Harold ! Typically, in a Road race application it's set level. Being set with angle in it helps turn the car in circle track applications.

[@wesley114]

Did you install inner axle seals in the tubes?

[@stockcarsurplus]

Yes, you'll see them at the 23:40 mark.

[@Cadzan]

I'm surprised to see you paint your housing as opposed to powder coating it. I know that there is a big cost difference but the powder coating is far more durable.

[@stockcarsurplus]

Personally, I prefer paint over powder. It's easier to touch up if needed, and powder can hide stress fracture.
