Those bearings dont need to go all the way in right? they just kinda sit on the edge. 2 small washers crank the allen bolt down.
Dual bend is better imo, the hasport linkage places it closer to the drive.

I don't think its the strut bottoming out either. I have 8K rates up front and 6K in the back. The car barely shift at all...even under really hard braking. If it does it once, I can't get it to do it again in that same braking period. I've tried that too.

Sure! I'll send you my address. Thanks a lot man!

Fastenal sells stainless hardware, just search by material & bolt size. Its very reasonable too, unlike some of these "import targetted" websites.

Who is going to IA? I've got the sedan cleaned up pretty well and I'm leaving late tonight.

I smoked my bumper lights with some vinyl, but I decided I don't like the look on my car. It's a little too agressive looking for my simple sedan. If someone is going to IA with a 90-91 I'd love to trade for some stock clear lenses.

That foam piece is not needed. I think those were for the 5mph collision bumper requirements or something.

well definetly need to get some new ones, but im thinking it needs to be pulled up a little more than stock, its a greddy sp2.. really want to find a used J's racing exhaust and weld it up, I hate the look of the exhaust coming out on the wrong side of the car tho. If the rear bumper didnt have that notch it wouldnt matter.

or if you dont' want to spend money on them i guess u could just use some clamps or something to go around the hangers to tighten them up.

I have the wierdest noise coming from my passenger side wheel. Its like a high pitch wizzing sound, that would be the best way to describe it. Before it barely did it and usually it goes away when i turn left, but now its doing it more often. Any one ever head a similar sound? Im thinking it might be the wheel bearing.
