I think you should reply to this comment since it is VERY IMPORTANT to prevent failure of the front lower arm bushing. Tighten the bolt after the car is down with weight on wheels or you will rip the bushing on the first bump you hit.

Looks great! I don’t know if this particular car is like this, but I have always been told that all torque specs on the suspension bolts apply when the weight of the car is loaded on the suspension. You may want to retorque with the weight loaded on all 4 corners before you actually start doing events with it!

@TheAcethunder32

3 жыл бұрын

You are correct. This is so the bushings are in a neutral position with the weight loaded. If not you WILL see premature bushing failure.

Damn, this gives me anxiety about taking my car to shops or even doing refurbishing work myself- I feel like most places don't put this much attention to detail in their work. Good stuff

Hey Guys, For everyone concerned about me using copper for the brake lines i would just like to let you know that they are NOT copper, they are an alloy containing some copper hence the colour and are sold as fully tested and rated brake line replacement. So unlike pure copper it doesn't work harden over time and shear or crack under high pressure. No safety issues here what so ever but i want to thank you all for being concerned about my safety ;)

@alisdairherd9501

Used to be steel Bundy tube but now would be more commonly kunifer or cupronickel tube. Ironically we use copper nickel alloys now because steel tubing may suffer from corrosion. So steel is less safe.

Technically speaking yes they should be as tightening them while in the air tends to "preload" the bush making it wear a bit faster than it normally would but as this car isnt my daily driver and will only see the road a few times a year im not overly concerned about slightly accelerated bush wear.Thanks for leaving a nicely thought out comment though :)

Мне вот не понятно зачем ты регулировочные болты сход-развала усадил на резьбовой герметик? Вроде как написал при этом что всё вернул на свои якобы места, но старая подвеска имеет своё "проседание" и уже от этого проседания была прежняя настройка, на новых шаровых и рулевых наконечниках резинотехнические элементы не имеют износа и люфтов, а прежняя настройка ходовой всё это учитывала под просевшие РТ элементы, смысл тогда выставлять настройки подвески в прежнее значение? сход-развал в любом случае делать, тогда и бессмысленно было усаживать регулировочные болты на герметик.
