I've been busy working on my Crotch Rocket and I got hurt pretty bad skateboarding, sorry it took awhile.
Update: I installed them my self, coming to notice that the bushings case on the Diff are bent a little, but the bushing it's self looks fine to me. All in all the car drives amazing, like I didn't think it would make THIS much of a difference. I took it on a lot of twisties where we take our Crotch Rockets, gave it some hard turns and preasure. I ****ing LOVE IT! Next is to do the shocks when I have the money. The Upper Control Arms were way worse than we actually thought they were, bushings, casing, arms, all of it was trashed. Old Upper Control Arms, New Upper Control Arms, Rear Diff Bushing Pictures Sorry if they're bad pictures, but blame the Cell Phone if so. ;) lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0214.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0215.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0216.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0217.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0218.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0219.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0220.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0221.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0222.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d/IMAG0223.jpg |

there's no sense in replacing them with higher end parts. The dual purpose of the uppers and their being angled inward makes upgrading bushings counter productive. The arm itself, yeah he could have gotten the boxed models from FRPP or boxed his in with a MIG welder but that's not really a functional upgrade IMO. Aftermarket arms are a complete waste unless you get spherical bushings and those are pretty damned loud.
If they didn't angle inward, zigg would have a point which would still be invalid because dude ain't got the duckets to be blowin' on hot parts anyway. |
good job BUT... the holes that mount to the diff look like they are just as elongated as your old ones. hope it doesn't cause your problem to come back soon.
are those bolts tightened down all the way in the pic? looks very strange if they are. |

I do need to get shocks so it will help not put as much stress on them. When I got them they were kind of bent out, but after you tighten them down they went to normal. In the pictures all I did was put them on, but didn't tighten down the bolts so I can show my mechanics the other bushing things and of course take pictures for you guys. It made such a huge difference on the suspension and there is no noise. |
