lookforjoe Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks guys. More updates.I have all of the tubing bent and at my shop. I have to start machining the components, start fabricating the right side a-arm and then make the fixtures. I should be able to make some real progress by weeks end. Pics and progress by the end of the week.Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300+_T5R_855 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm super excited!All of the material is cut. I am about 1/3 of the way through machining the bushings. I hope to have a set completed by Monday. Once I get that far the rest is pretty routine. The first set and the fixturing is what's going to take the most time.

300+_T5R_855 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 The drivers side fixture is done and I have just pulled the first part. Updates as they become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepuma Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Looks absolutely awesome! What's your thoughts on these bushings and joints holding up through an NE winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your thoughts on these bushings and joints holding up through an NE winter?They should last at least as long as the stock arm. The only real change is the rod end. The fixed end is virtually identical as the factory one. It's cast and unpainted. This will at least be painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedV70R Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Looks absolutely awesome! What's your thoughts on these bushings and joints holding up through an NE winter?Arms look well engineered/made, nice.I've had zero luck getting Heim joints to live on the street, any chance on a different style end on the outboard side?

Really, any chance of anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, any chance of anything else?I don't think we'll see those issues in this case. The heim is bigger, is working in a different direction and in an area that doesn't see as much abuse as the end links. It could actually be a solid rod end, it does not have to be spherical.
