Re: Axle shaft/CV joint bearing issues
I've noticed that under a separate forum heading 'CV axle info' a SJ410 CV should have 19 teeth, whereas the axle shaft on mine has 20. (I've treble checked it just to ensure it isn't eyeball trouble). Is it possible my shaft might be from another vehicle? Any help on resolving this would be highly ...

Axle shaft/CV joint bearing issues
Upon stripdown of the front left differential/axle housing I found the axle/CV joint bearing to be worn and decided to replace it. I've tried obtaining a replacement however all the suppliers I've tried are out of stock. Does anyone know of a supplier, UK based or worldwide, where I can obtain a new...

Re: Newly acquired SJ410 project in Spain
So this is how she is currently, and has been since this April if I'm honest due to a busy old summer. The chassis is 95% built, slight issue with the left hand axle shaft at the moment. Seats are 'offered in' but not fixed in place as I'm still working on the wiring loom/dashboard area. Also the bo...

Also at this point my spray painter (wife) was rubbing down and prepping all the bodywork, then build a Heath Robinson spray booth using plastic sheeting and 4x2. Rattle can special though it isn't meant to be a show pony, just for the mountains. By now it was May and my garage is like an oven durin...

Re: Newly acquired SJ410 project in Spain
Now upto the 2 year point. Around this time my welder was going to town on the body, mainly around the bulkhead and footwells as mentioned, though new seat mounts also went in as I shall be fitting some Gucci seats from a Mazda6 I obtained in the interim. They're a tight squeeze but well padded so s...

Re: Newly acquired SJ410 project in Spain
Misprint, 18 months in at this point. Everything removed from the chassis; stripped, cleaned, checked and inspected as per Suzuki's spec then swathed in hammerite where appropriate. Alongside this all the drivetrain and braking system was bench overhauled, ready to be refitted to the rolling chassis...
