So You Want to Mod That Sambar? Let's Talk About Some More Basics On Lowering Or Lifting KS or KV
Hey guys! So my basics video was a hit, well for my level of video making, it was very popular. SO, with that said, I went over some basics with pros and cons to lowering or lifting your Sambar van or truck. I don't show you how to, but I explain what to look out for when you do such mods. I recommend mod'ing your Sambar for sure, but it will come with consequences like anything else that isn't stock. But stock is boring, so we deal with it! Links below :)

Yes the 175R13 Desert Hawk just touches the coil spring at the top of the tire.. Hawks are 24'' strong
Dude you are the man. Thanks for the info

Change that "if" to "when"
With a lift you run the rusk of shock over-travel where the piston rips out of the shock tube or the mounting eye weld breaks.

Do you know of any places to buy lowering springs for the Sambar? Or dimensions of the springs? Can't seem to find much of anything for the Sambar in general.

I’ve ordered gen struts from Japan. I also ordered those genuine struts helpers (yellow genuine 🎉) Do you recommend struts hats and bearing to finish? I need to have a good look in there, but removing the grommet plug from under the seat they don’t look too cracked at all! Get new hats in bearing anyway?

Top tip in ur other vid Kevin, those strut helpers u mentioned in another vid will keep things from feeling that ugly ouch noise on ball joints and tie rods,
Do you have a link to those upgraded replacement cv axles? Or what vehicle they were originally for?

eBay has them. But they’re just the boots. Not the axles themselves
My Sambar is the newer body style 1999 (31k km) and I'm having issues with a valve tick (is that normal?) and sticky gears. I changed the gear oil in the t-case but no difference in the very sticky gears (all 5 gears). Any advice? I been researching for a while now and am coming up empty.

so the valves may need adjustment but some valve tick is normal, they are not quiet engines. valves need to be adjusted anyways and I have a video on that from a long time ago. very very easy. TT is the same as the KS. and yes the trans is a little wierd due to the shift bushing possibly being worn out. i'd start by replacing the bushing and see if that helps!

@@OhKeiGarage I'll try to find your valve adjustment video. Oh, and today I discovered there were no linkage bushings! lol Been on the hunt all day to find some. Saw some for $30 which seams crazy. I'm going to call G and R on Monday. Any link for the bushings? I am being told from on-line sources they can be found for as little as $3.50 each and that they are the same as many other Subaru's. Hard to pull the trigger without being sure.
Any info on the engine. Where to get spares other than Subaru agents.

Is it possible to find longer CVs for these so you could do a 4+ inch lift? Are CVs the only thing keeping you from more lift and more tire?
