they arent upside down are they? the axle side looks like it coils in... maybe its just the pics. but I would also be thats your poping/slamming noise up front offroad...

NVM, after looking at it for a min they jus tlook like the wrong spring all together.

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking about on noise but noise sounds like more like when in four wheel you turn and bind the ujoint but real loud like real loud lol. Think there is a cup that that will work or just brake down and buy new ones ?

 

buy new ones

 

I agree. its not worth a baindaid fix for a maybe...by the time you buy things to make those work your about the price of springs anyway... most coils are about 75-130$

 

Okay guys. Here's my dilemma, and hopefully someone can help me.

I've removed the compressor for the A/C, as well as all the A/C components. To make the pulleys work, I've moved the alternator to the top, where the compressor used to be.

This leaves me with the alternator, water pump, crank pulley, and power steering pulley. My question is, should i leave the idler pulley on, or no? It's more in the way than anything, but it can work with it. What would happen if i ran it with just these 4, and no idler? helps.

 

If your talking about the idler the fan mounts to I would run it as it would not allow the belt to have so much free motion from the crank to the alretnator... just my opinion though.. have no experiance with it lol

 

Whats the downside to letting it have a lotta motion though?

 

x2 you dont want that much free space between pulleys

 

Hmm.. okay.

 

there is only one way to route a belt with that configuration and i dont see how it would work you would have hardly any belt surface contacting the crank pulley, draw us a diagram of how you would route your belt with that like that

 

X2

 

I can hardly see it on my phone, but look like you could run it like a V belt. I would agree though it would have to much free belt.

 

It can move back and forth, under load the slack of the belt will be pushed to the biggest opening, and could cause it to jump. your tensioner might not be able to take all the slack out of the long side with it on the oposite side of the pulleys... just my thoughts on it.

what I thought....

x3! lol

 

Okay so here's what it is. It keeps all the pulleys going in the same direction as before. Only right now, I have eliminated two pulleys, the fan and alt. ( alt at top now) I guess just whether i should put the fan pulley back on and use it as an idler.

 

that might work but still a lot of free space there
