Upper Trailing Arms Question
#31
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.

Sorry if they're bad pictures, but blame the Cell Phone if so. lol

I removed my old ones because they were completely trashed and wrecked. Bought another pair of used stock ones and had them painted before I put them on. I'm sorry, I don't have a job or make any where near enough money like you to afford for some nice fancy ones. Nor do I even care for the matter.

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.

My mechanic and other people say I should be fine considering how long it took for my old ones to get that bad. 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.
