As you know I went to get a wheel alignment yesterday and posted the results in the other thread...
They did say back was out (as you can see on the sheet)...

So is that the correct part?

Hey Guys,
As the title says I'm getting vibration when I travel above about 50-60km/h. I'm assuming its the uni joints. Have taken the tailshaft out and I have the non serviceable model

I found some sweet info in the wiki about rockford driveline. On their site they have part no. 430-9 which is listed as being Datsun 1200 - 1971-73 and Datsun B210 1974-82. My car is a 1974 1200 Ute is this part correct for this? Also do you think this is the issue?

I drove it the other day with some weight in the back, the vibration was still there but seemed less and seemed to come on later (maybe 70-80km/h).

Thanks

Cheers DD
Nice decipher.
If my LCA was knackered would that be the reason the car pulls to the right also?
Any idea where I can get right LCA now days? I'm in Perth W.A

Ok cheers DD

Think the error does get higher at faster speeds. I will check and report back

Ok guys I did the odometre test. According to GPS I drove 16.5km, according to dash odo it was 17.2km.
I read the wiki, correct me if I'm wrong but it doesnt sound like my odo is that far out? This must mean that the magnets are worn out?

cheers
Yea thats stylish that you still have receipts from back then! I see what you mean, I can't decipher that writing either. The shop did claim the right strut was bent in and back which helps all the theories discussed earlier. Now I need to find another right strut, anyone got a spare?

thanks again guys.
Ok I will do bushes first.
Is this what I need?

Can I please get an album too.

thanks

I found this:
"If you want your 1200 to have some -ve camber (factory spec is +1.5 degrees), just move the lower control arm mounts in the cross member. Redrilling the mounts about 10mm outward from their original position will result in about 0.5 degrees of negative camber, and will definitely make the car handle better, making it less susceptible to understeer when cornering fast. "

If I did that RHS only would that help?

Hey Guys,
Time to start a build thread for my project. I bought this ute as is 2 weeks ago. Paid $3500 for it, it is licensed.
Have spent $500 to date, getting gearbox fixed and rest of car fully serviced. Synchros in 3rd and 4th for knackered, this is all fixed now and gear box seems good.

Plans for this car
It is intended to be a daily driver. I'm going to put an A14 which I'll prob recon with mild cam and hi comp pistons. If its isn't ludicrously expensive I'd consider a small low pressure turbo setup for the A14. More research is required for this. I'll also put a 5sp in it if I can find one for a reasonable price. Going to fully panel and respray car also.

Things to fix:
- Speedo
- Pull to right when driving (bent right strut I believe)
- Right tyre rubbing back wheel arch (caused by same issue as above I think)
- Tail shaft vibration
