Jdesign Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I finally did something...ehh bought something. I purchased some adjustable rear control arms as the ones in the car are factory, and I wrecked the old bushings as you saw earlier in this thread. These were $50 on eBay, and to my surprise, the quality is way better than I expected. I assume they were cheap because no one wants purple control arms.

GunMetalGrey Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Install mirrors near the underbody so you can see the purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggerty Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Those toe arms are solid for the price. I bought a set 4 years ago the bushings are starting to crack but $50 for a set, sore Dick deal. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdesign Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Finally made some bushings for the control arms last night. Delrin with aluminum inserts on the lathe. I made them in CAD first, and I think next time I make a set, I will just CNC them. It took me about 3 hours to cut everything out on the lathe, and the CNC would have taken about 5mins...Oh well. I will install them this week and button everything back up. I want to make new sub-frame bushings too, but I dread removing the sub-frame seeing how destroyed the bolts are from someone welding washers to them. ughhhhh. I also started mocking up how I want to route the exhaust. Currently its super hacked together and hangs really low under the car. I want to go lower but cant because of it.

Jdesign Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Finished installing the bushings and new control arms last night and got it back on the ground. I still need to bleed the brakes again, but I will need to do that this weekend. I needed the car off of the lift so that I could work on a pile of shit Volkswagen I bought. I also sprayed the tire letters red on one side of the car to get an idea of how it might look on the Centerlines. B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdesign Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Fuck that's awesome. I need a round muffler to put behind the seat inside the car. I wish I could do something like that^^^ without breaking the bank. Flat boom tip exhaust isnt a bad idea....where would you buy something like that?
