Put me down for a set, but if your still on the fence about it, I would like to see 7075 used on the spacers instead of 6061
I know alot of you guys want to weld in the retainers, but if retaining compound works, wouldn't getting the retainers made from 6061 reduce the machining cost dramatically? |

How much to make a set? I would probably just weld the sleeve into the upright.

Am I missing something? Why does the sleeve need welded into the upright? The upper control arm pocket sandwiches everything together and with the spacers... I don't see how there's anywhere for the assembly to go. ???

There still needs to be clearance between the sleeve and the upper control arm ears or else you might just run a solid bushing rather than a spherical. I'm just using loctite 620 since thats what the sleeve was sized for. If the loctite fails the uca keeps it from being a catastrophic failure (IE wheel coming part way off and you crashing), but it would still end your day of racing.
When the rear suspension is assembled, are you sure the knuckle wants to move along the sleeve? In my mind the upper arm isn't taking any force in that direction, it's just supposed to be a defined length. :noob: How could the wheel come off if the knuckle moves along the sleeve? |

Ok, so there's clearance between the sleeve and the ears. The spacers and spherical are clamped between the ears and the sleeve is constrained on the bearing by the snap ring.

That's what I just said... "the spacers and spherical are clamped between the ears and the sleeve is constrained on the bearing by the snap ring[s]". We're on the same page on the assembly. I'm saying, what is the loctite actually doing? You think if you omit the loctite that the knuckle is going to move fore and aft on the sleeve? If you were to completely unhook your UCA... you just have the knuckle in the lower control arm... can the knuckle move fore-aft?

I'll play too for one set. Basic spacers for stock bolt size.

Yes, yes you can, because bushing deflection, even with delrin in the outer lowers.

i think you read leafys post wrong, he said it cant come off in a worst case scenario since everything is captured. |

i will PM all of you with paypal info when we get to that point. |
Was looking at things tonight in the garage and realized that with the v8 control arms I am running, I have a stock eccentric bolt holding the upper. Is that going to be an issue??

we are half way to our minimum! |
i found 7075 for a very decent price so im going to use that for all the spacers including the camber bolt people.

glade, Gee Emm, 90civichhb, TNTUBA, mcfandango, mrjones2, smite, nota4re
what say you? |
You can put me down for 5 complete sets (5 cars). When you need deposit or full payment just let me know. (If you need me to commit to more to get things moving, let me know.)

I must have missed a lot of posts in here. I'm still in. What question were you needing answered?
