time to clean you engine bay homie!

 

Haha car wash is on the agenda for after work today...

 

so after you cut the holes does it still hit or no

 

Haven't felt it hit since I cut the holes.... Night and day difference...

 

would love to get rid of clunk noise but don't think i could live with two holes in my engine bay, can someone post the thread with the custom covers....thanks

 

It no longer hits, but it allows the control arms to move up more and therefore more stress on the upper ball joints. I contemplated on doing this, but I raised the car a little bit and so far havent hit like I used to. Wash the bay

 

That's the best mod for every lowered car.

 

Looks like someone needs a bath =p

 

i also did this to my car and it really really makes a huge differance. i deff recommend this done if your slammed

 

i did mine bout 6 months and def a big difference, only thing i notice is i get more dust around that area but i just clean it as much as i can.

 

Does anyone have a drawing that shows how the control arm articulates with respect to the rest of the suspension that causes the contact to the underside of the strut tower?

 

I raised my car like a half inch to avoid the banging.

 

I was actually going to do this a few months ago...but I decided not to. The frame is so low that my control arms hitting it is pretty much stopping the chassis from slamming the ground lol...It is a wonderful mod though and I do recommend it!

 

same exact reason i didn't do mine.

 

I feel like when the control arm hits it puts a lot of stress on the rim when hitting bumps because the suspension doesn't get full travel... Causing rims to get out of round or bend...
