[urq] CQ suspension on URQ

[Todd Phenneger]

Sean,
I'm not sure about strictly bolt in as the CV's are different.

BUT...In the rear you can use the same ur-q 4kq bearings and axle.  But you
need to space the bearing "Back" a little.  Otherwise the CV will rub on the
housing and the brakes wont line up.  You also have to clearance (Machine
down) the Bearing  housing that faces the hub or the ur-q hub will rub
there.  Errrr....wait.  Ur-q hub may not rub as it sits further out.  But my
4kq hub rubbed there.

If you go here on Motorgeek then Derracuda outlined it pretty well with
photo's.

sc&start=25

Start on about page 2&3 .  And then spend the rest of the night checking out
the 44 pages of cool stuff he did to this 4kq.

But the principles for his 2-pc conversion carry over to the ur-q.

Hope that helps.
