    85 K20 Suburban rear shock question w/pics

    Thanks so my info says to torque at 65 but I’m afraid on the lower part of rear shocks. It’s gonna pull the tabs that are connected to the axle that connect to the shocks too tight. I’ll take a picture

    85 K20 Suburban rear shock question w/pics

    I changed out my front shocks already and used the inserts that came with the shocks, but on the back shocks the bolts are as big as the inserts, do the back shocks get inserts or no? The old shocks were thrown away along time ago and don’t remember if they had inserts or not thank you.

    Front spindle

    OK I have an 85K20 4 Wheel Dr. manual hubs and replacing the disc brakes. I have the spindle off which has bearings in it. Should I replace those bearings? And if I should do they come out just like all the other bearings do and does it have a race as well? Thank you.

    Loctite, which one and where?

    For example, I’m about ready to start installing the gearbox which obviously is up by the engine little more shaking, rattling vibration. I figure blue on most everything, but are there occasions where you use red? Thanks again.

    85 Chevy suburban K 20

    OK thank you yeah I think I’ll just stick with them My only thinking is is I thought the semi floats were only a 9 1/2 inch but this rear one measures 10 1/2 I guess that’s normal and the front axles 9 1/2.

    Hi, thanks for the reply mainly light 4xing nothing too crazy and road driving. I was just thinking for resale value of somebody else. Wanting to do something a little more hard-core.

    85 Chevy suburban K 20

    I’m doing a project on this vehicle and it has locking rear with 3.42 ratio but I believe it’s semi float which I wanna go to a full float. Is it worth it changing it out to a 10 1/2 full float and also do you have an idea of what the gear ratio is on the front by any chance thank you.
