I have a stock 87 Turbo T, it has the posi and 8.5" rear end. I ordered axle snubbers from ATR and they appear to be about 1 1/2" dia. square tubing about 2 inches long. They have one hole drilled on one side and about 1 inch slot on the other side. I looked at the stock rubber ones on the axle pad and it is slotted and pressed in. How in the world are these suppose to install? Am i missing something? A call to ATR and they said to take the old ones off and re-install on the new tubing they sent. Is my axle different than others. Thanks, Tommy, GSCA #2025
Thank you for posting this question! I bought a set from ATR a year or so ago, and well, they're still sitting in my tool box! I had forgotten about them till just now.....hopefully someone can tell us the right way to put them on, since they didn't come with directions!
Thanks, John
They are different from the ones I have. But I bet that you pull the stock rubber out and then bolt them in where the rubber was. I forget but I'm pretty sure there's already holes there ready to rock. Then from the looks of the ATR ones the stock rubber gets pushed into the snubber.
That is exactly how to do it. Use some liquid soap on the rubber pieces and it will be easy. Did this on my car a few years ago, and they do keep the frame/body higher when you are carrying a load in the car.
