#1 H190 in coupe, what did you do for pinion snubber
Rallytwit Posted on: 2013/5/5 5:15
I'm curious for those who put a H190 in their coupe, what did you do for the pinion snubber? I have the anti tramp bar set up in the car and at the moment the snubber is out. I removed the snubber as the diff was very close to it, to the point that it would bottom before suspension. So cut it down or remove it altogether? In theory the tramp rods would keep the housing from twisting up and hitting the floor. There is some twist there, I found my sway bar had shifted to one side and one nut on the drive shaft bolts just nicked the sway bar. (note the Addco rear bar has a loop where it goes over the drive shaft)

Any info appreciated............

You can cut about 1/2 of the snubber off. But then it'll only have 15mm suspension travel. Maybe better to remove it completey. If it hits the floor it'll make a noise but no problem.

Took mine out of my car. I run a H165 though. The diff get rather close on very low 1200's. My has hit only once and that was when I hit a big hole just off the circuit.

Benny we must be running on the same track, there's a giant hole just off the circuit, that nasty critter bottomed a rear damper so hard it came loose.

I will be leaving the snubber off, the Addco bar is v shaped (pointy side up) inside the tunnel mounted just ahead of the snubber. When I mounted the sway bar 20+ years ago the fact that it was slightly off center didn't matter, the A15 has enough torque that the drive shaft just nicked it as the chassis heeled over. I got everything straight yesterday afternoon..............I missed my track day, I did break my standing rule of not entering the event till the car is ready to go and paid for it.

On the plus side the motor feels pretty good even with 1/2 throttle and low revs, I'll be out on an abandoned stretch of road (defunct mine) to run i the engine. We'll see how it goes just before I load it back up.
