95riosnake Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 You can also mark me down in the loving the brakes column, some silver Brembo decals would be a nice finishing touch on the calipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmage Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 no real crazy updates. but heres some pics getting it ready to pull the rack and put in solid steering rack bushings courtesy of @95opal and then the rubber bushings were rusted and corroded to everything... with no penetrating oil or heat, had to call it a night. but tonight ill be back for vengeance!

Blackmage Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 such a pain in the ASS. it would spin but could not get it to come out. just heated the shit out of it until stuff started melting and it finally worked its way out. you can see the difference between the side where the oil filter is on (where it annoyingly covers the rack when you pull the filter....) and the passenger side one. for those wondering where this part is on the car. then time to cut shit up! and thats all i got. installed them back into the car, used the solid bushings, (btw @95opal, the kit you sent was missing the spherical washers, everything seems to work fine tho) Night and day difference. cheap enough mod that everyone should do this, 170k on the chassis and the rubber bushings had never been changed.

410sn95 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 It might be an older kit. They didn't come with spherical washers. Washers were added to the kit after complaints of rack noise/chatter when the bushings were installed. This was due to manufacturing tolerances of the k-member to rack mounting points.

Either way, no binding in the rack that I could tell and no chattering, so we should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
410sn95 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Nice you got no noise/bind. What color were the bushings? The kit with no washers puts the rack in a better position, moves it back improving ackerman angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit with no washers puts the rack in a better position, moves it back improving ackerman angle. the front bushing was like a deep deep blue/possibly black, and the rear was silver.

Hmmm, If I remember correctly when I was working at the shop the original MM bushings we installed at the time were all silver. Anyway, sounds like you got it all squared away and workin!
