Default Cr rear on xx4

When running a cr rear end do you need to cut the brace off on the pivot blocks? cheers

If you have 2 degree pivot blocks then you can leave them, they are the same as the cut CR ones.

It is a setup thing; shorter turnbuckle will generally give you more camber gain than longer ones.

Can I confirm with someone that these are the required parts to do the conversion?
A2129 XXXCR rear hubs
A2132 XXXCR rear wishbones
A2113 2deg piviot support
Do you swap the wishbones over, ie right to left, left to right?
I have searched but its taking me forever!
Thanks

You swap the pivot blocks over.

First of all, the wishbones are handed. The left one is marked with one dot and the right one with two dots. Swapping them will give a slightly shorter wheelbase.

Second, if your existing pivot support is the XX4 CE (with toe in) then you don't need the A2113, if it's the original XX4's pivot support (0 toe in) than you do need it (or you can also use LOSA2213).

Thanks for the heads up. I think I have 0deg toe white blocks from a street weapon, and outboard toe rear hubs on the car. I may have the original inboard toe pivot blocks with a bit ground out from the worlds kit. So, you swap the blocks over left to right, maintaining the 2deg anti squat?

Swap the blocks over, ground down the little lugs and then ground out a slot for the diff outdrive. I use 2 deg blocks.

A quick question. I have found the 2 deg blocks from my original worlds kit, with the machined out slots. What I cant work out is if you swap them left for right, grind the pimples off and make a new groove for the outdrive, it makes it look like the anti squat is going the wrong way. By this I mean that the front of the wishbone is lower than the rear, rather than the front being higher if you put them on the correct way. Am I going mad, or is that right?

I have an anti squat washer under the front of the blocks. Should have mentioned that.

Cheers Ian, does that make it to 0 deg anti squat if you add 1 wedge? What is the starting point for the anti squat, 2 deg?

What effect does flipping the pivot block have?
And is it very noticeable?

I just bought a XX-4 roller that I will be receiving in the mail soon.
What parts do you have to modify to get a CR rear end to fit?
I plan on trying this.
