SECTION F -SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY-
102
Attach the other end of the cable to the compensator lever
on the suspension cage:
Slip the cable into the slot in the block attached to the
lower lever of the compensator.
Screw the threaded end of the cable into the hole in the
block.
Attach the bracket on the cable end to the other lever of
the compensator. Do not tighten the lock nut.
Secure the cable to the outside of the driveshaft hoop with
a tie-wrap.
Adjustment
Fully release the handbrake lever. Adjust the cable length
by screwing the threaded end into the block to a point just
short of where the handbrake operating levers on the
calipers begin to move. Check the adjustment by pressing
each operating lever at the same time towards the calipers.
While doing this, observe the levers of the compensator on
the cage - if they move noticeably, then the cable is too
tight. To prevent binding, some slack should be obvious.
Check that the cable will not come in contact with the
driveshaft at any time.
The cable passes through the right block and connects to
the left lever. See page 42.
Adjustment
Fully release the handbrake lever. Adjust the cable length
by screwing the threaded end out of the block to a point
just short of where the handbrake operating levers on the
calipers begin to move. If the handbrake lever movement
is excessive, adjust the cable at the right block fitting.
ANTI-SWAY BAR
The 3 /
4
" rear anti-sway bar mounts on the rear face of the
crossmember just in front of the rear subframe
d\rswayb
The chassis is threaded for
5
/
16
" USS bolts. If you meet
resistance when installing the bolts, chase the threads in
the chassis.
A broken bolt inside the frame is difficult to
fix .
Bolt the anti-sway bar to the chassis crossmember using
the rubber bushings and clamps. If there is a jog in the
bar, the center offset is to the rear and down with the arms
extended under the suspension control arms.
Clamp the axle brackets around the Jaguar control arms.
Position them behind or just to the inside of the trailing
arm rod ends as shown.
Install the links between the axle brackets and the ends of
the anti-sway bar. Tighten the link bolts so that the rubber
bush expands to the diameter of the cupped washer.
