The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV

jchammond · 10-18-2019, 10:24 PM

Anyone need a professional fuca upper installation

As many times as people have spoken about the fuca’s & i’d

I need to rewrite the instruction manual for these

I’ll take all credit of putting on & taking off thrice

But knowing how the turnbuckle supposed to work & the maximum limitations of it

Also; the set screw collars for the smaller heim joints are supposed to be on the outer ends of the fuca’s,where the wider bearing spacers are-thus giving maximum clearance to access...those had to be swapped as well

Mine are already in but I'd be more than happy to have someone that actually gives a damn (other than me) take a gander at them!

Emphasis on the bang. Got a standard email from corporate asking how the job was. Trashed them. Then got a call from the manager. Left him a voicemail saying I'd run a Triscuit up my crack and eat it before I brought any of my four cars back to his "shop."

Wondering if the call was recorded?

Withe a BFM sledge.

Their tool boxes only have a small hammer, a BIG hammer, small straight edge screwdriver, a BIG straight edge screwdriver, a small phipps screwdriver, a BIG phipps screwdriver, a small crescent wrench, a BIG crescent wrench. The small tools are for fine adjustment. The BIG tools are for course adjustment.

Thing is; you can put your alignment specs dead on....but being user friendly to the mechanic took some unscrewing & screwing the fuca’s

Rusty would be proud of the antiseize coating

I was just thinking you used any anti-seize or not.
