Front lower contol arm bushings blown?

gomer_110 · 05-23-2019, 06:07 PM

No sign on the original arms and I haven't seen anything on the arms that I replaced them with either with respect to the impact bushings

I've been glued to my iPhone and computer for the past 2 days working out my plans for suspension, and can't figure the rear inner FLCA bushing out. The Superpro version in the second link above is offset, and I'm honestly not sure for what purpose. I posted a question to Z1, and ultimately they advised contacting SuperPro, which I've done. Any ideas while I wait?

Only thing I could see them doing that for is to increase positive caster and -camber by moving the lower arm out and forward but I think ideally you’d want to do it at the upper control arm.

Understood. What would be a good replacement bushing besides an SPL? I don’t think Whiteline offers one.

While I'm here, on a scale of "garbage" to "forged by the minions of Satan and blessed by Archangel Gabriel", where would you guys put Megan Racing's arms?

My guess is probably not good by seeing prior comments on their products.

Chinese junk. Past posts on this is that they won't hold the camber setting. The ball joint keeps sliding in.

Just like the SPC FUCA (non xAxis version)....except for the one pair where someone welded a bracket and used a screw to push and hold the nut in its place.

Yeah, they welded a nut to the arm and used a bolt to hold the ball joint in place. Forget who that was.
