tie rod ends.

I do want end links too, but considering most of us probably won't track hardcore our cars, can't why not just a plate that offsets the mounting point between the end links and sway bar...?

 

if you do make that, could you please make a flat spot in the middle so we can take a wrench to wiggle the arm when installing? looks like you have a 98-00 caster arm, look at the 01-05 caster arm for reference.

 

A plate will see too much moment I think and fatigue over time. Besides the stock endlinks up front are joined with the stud. so I am not sure where the plate would end up?

 

Its actually an IS300 Arm. and the arm will not wiggle because its fixed mounted on the cross arm side, so I am not sure where to put a flat spot. I had planned on one for the jam nut side obviously.

^something like that.

night pager makes them...which seems sufficient enough for just road use? but I don't know jack about engineering either.

man..i just want to remove bumpsteer..all these complicated stuff is making me confused, but im down for whatever to make my suspension close to stock wit the exception for minimal camber for the rear rims ill be running...keep us posted FIGS ENG.

 

OK, for some reason I was thinking of the other mount side. I see what they did there but man I bet that is a 1/4" plate. That adds a lot of weight into the system. The other advantage to mine is that I am using rod ends that are made to handle contamination and high misalignment. They should last a long time in this configuration. A set of machined plates may not be much cheaper especially if they are chromo. What is nightpager asking for the plates?

 

I'll make it simple for you, when you go low, your steering geo changes. whether its just a suspension drop, or when your car dips in a turn due to weight. you, "dial in" your suspension by aligning to compensate for the drop. bump steer happens when your tie rods and Lower control arms are no longer level and causes snappy steering. one thing I hate about my knuckles on my 240 now...

 

I'm with figs... I really dont like that plate design, plus great point! ^

 

Hey FIGS, do you have anything available for the 2gs yet? I mean, I'm interested in prototypes, whatever is possible. I'm not used to this limitation of parts

 

I have MEGA arms and toe links for the 2GS currently. I also have an RCA spacer that will work, I just need to remove more material off it and that has not been done yet.

 

i'm in for a pair of front end links

 

I want end links. My bushings are squeaking and need replacement, might as well upgrade

 

im ready to order... got price an time line for the tie rods?

 

no price yet, still waiting on a few things.
