My intention was to replace my broken mono leaf(s) with new multi leafs. I decided to replace the perches with multi leaf type rather than a conversion kit. I also wanted to replace the seals as I has a bit of a leak. I took out my rear and I brought it to Walker Drive line. When I took it out I noticed that PO had accidentally hit the rear cover with a grinder and rust took over to create a pin hole. I asked them to tap it with a weld on the inside to close the hole.
Shortly after I delivered the rear the place lost an employee and the owner had to do all the work himself. After much delay I go to pick-up the rear and he had only spot welded the perches because, he said, the old ones were not even and he didn't know which one was correct. I thought it was strange as there was no evidence that a tube had spun but what do I know. He had me install the rear and measure the angle of my yoke and my tranny output. The tranny is 1 degree down and the rear was 6 degrees down. I removed the rear and returned it, we agreed that the rear needed to go 7 degrees up. a coupla days later I get the rear and I never thought to check it but as I started to install it it was clear he went 7 degrees the wrong way! My rear yoke is pointing way down. Now he says "well I'll need the car to get it right" he said he'll just cut 'em off with a plasma cutter and weld 'em back on. My response was that the perches would be no good after they were cut off, he said they would be...I ordered another set of new ones anyway because I don't want it looking like crap.
To further complicate things I have to tow it there and he has already been paid. Also the pin hole burned out so I had to buy a *#!&$ chrome rear cover.
I think the employee that left had ground off the old perches and thats why he needed me to measure it the first time and he just effed-up on the weld 'cause he was too busy the second time. I should have been test driving this weekend.
