eliminates bump steer. Better suspension travel, strut rods are turrable.

 

But that would be no bueno on a static street truck correct? (To remove it )

 

as long as you re triangulate the lower arm with a tube/bushing/mount braket, it is ok to remove. I did it to my 63 buick as well.

 

On my truck strut rod is all up in my way of th lower rad hose. But I'm managing that lol

 

my old mazda was the same way lol Can buy a kit for $100 or so...I did my buick for $30 and will be doing my 4runner too. Unless I convince the boss to water jet some lowers for me.

 

Who sells the kit? And thanks for the quick suspension lesson lol.

 

it helps with camber issues for being so low also gives you a place to mount shocks.not to mention looks a lot cleaner better geometry.

 

some guy I will not promote, good fabricator, but the wait is rediculous along with cusomer contact.


ps...sorry for hijacking the your build thread buddy, proceed

 

Thread jacked yet again Batman...

 

Damn I've missed out on a lot of this build. The cando arms are great. On the lower balljoint you will need to either make a spacer or put washers under the nut so the cotter pin goes threw both the hole an nut. Learned this when my balljoints went out an almost lost the nut.

 

Yikes. Will def look into this. How bad was it doing the lowers on yours? You have truouble getting the bushings/ sleeves out? Bout to tackle that today hopefully.

 

The bushing was a pita to get out. I took a sawzall an cut it an just beat it out. That took the longest but other then tht it was pretty straight forward. Ya I think i stacked like 2-3 washers on the lower balljoint. I called Steve and talked to him when it happened to me that's what he said to do. When I take everything apart ill make a spacer instead of the washers. Make sure u get the part numbers for the ball joints incase u need to get new ones haha

 

haha sorry about that!

 

anymore progress on the clutch master cylinder would like to see some pics about to relocate mine soon

 

Will have more pics this week. Been on vacation for the past 3 days. Back to work on Tuesday and get the ball rollin' again.

 

Haven't seen this build in a while.. Those wheels are wicked man. Looks awesome!

 

Thanks bro.

 

Been working on flipping the clutch master throughout the week. Taking alot of pics for a future detailed writeup... Also going to do a detailed writeup for the Z as well. Here are a few progress pics...





Should have the pedal assembly finished up this week. Here are a few of controll arm install progress. Had to be a reciprocating saw for the Z project... Removal of the LCA bushings / sleeves was the worst.









Stay tuned for updates as well as the detailed writeups in the tech section...

 

Awesome! It would be nice to see that before I start mine next month.

 

*updates*
































Z is welded in place, now need to build plates. Anyone else have to cut alot off the gusset from can do in the last pic? Its almost 5/8 off.
