Need help identifying these parts

[damnesia]

My Scout came with a bunch of parts just laying in the bed. I am assembling the pieces and there are a couple I don't know what they are.

1. In driveLineMisc.jpg attached picture there are two sets of front and rear drive shafts. The part with a black circle drawn around it is one I don't know what it is. The other steering pieces I am not sure of the names.

2. The whatIsThis.jpg picture appears to be part of an old transmission maybe?

3. The Scout also came with two sets of front leaf springs. One of each set is installed on the truck and I am trying to determine what these springs are and maybe their origins. Also to determine which set, if any, I should put on the Scout. Can anyone tell anything from pictures of the springs?

Thanks.

1. That is a CV joint, not commonly found on Scouts. It's probably left over from another project the PO had.

2. Definitely a manual tranny core. Can't tell much else about it though. A tranny shop may give you more ideas if it's usable or not.

3. Those springs don't look like any that I've seen on my Scouts. Too many leafs, could be custom built packs. I doubt they are from a Scout though. You may be able to use them if the eye measurements line up. Keep the springs on the rig matched, ie don't have different styles. The pic shows two different styles & leaf counts (if I counted right). Could be throwing off your steering angles.

Thank for the response.

3. those springs definately fit on the scout, one of each of those are installed in the front. from pictures I looked at they sort of look like CJ springs. I am trying to find a way to accurately determine the height of the scout and then install the matched other matched spring.

I think he meant they weren't (OEM) scout springs, but yeah if they fit use em :P

First thing is definitely a CV joint like my friends 1990 Honda CRX has haha

Is it safe to assume that the more leafs in a leaf spring pack, the more lift?

[baldscout]

It was a correct meaning that they are not OEM.

They may have used those springs to remove the spring shims; hence the . Usually more leaves gives more lift, but that also depends on the strength and construction of the leaf. One could get weak leaves & build a pack for stiffness or flex; not lift.

Maybe a spring shop in your local area could give you better information since they would have a hands on inspection.

The second one appears to be the end piece of a 4wd Toyota or possibly Nissan 5 speed trans.

the first picture has a tie rod that is 'U' shaped almost, looks bents, right...its not, thats supposed to be that way. i have the exact same tie rod on my 70' 800a.

Thanks, I actually assumed it was a bent tie rod.

Yup, the same came with my 800b with 304 front.
I removed the first 2 of the pack.
