Well, my junk yard R did well this weekend except for this..


You can see why the bushing is gone some one ground cuts in to the shafts and they ate the rubber out in one hpde weekend these were new on Friday..

 

That's why I built mine out of spherical rods ends.

Well not all bearings are created equal or they aren't sized properly.

 

I got the SPC arms and so for no issues this year either... but this might be a wake up call.

 

Sorry to hear that the parts failed.... SPC's on 4 different track cars and never had that problem !

I've had SPCs in mine for two seasons and haven't had any problems. Who makes those?

Thawley

 

anyone have experience with the ingalls arms?

 

SPC or ingalls poly? the ingalls are $5 cheaper....but if you guys have had great sucess with the SPC, then SPC it is...

Raises hand. No problems after 3 years of tracking & racing.

 

We have had SPC's on our DA for the last 2 years with at least 45 race weekends and more test days then I can count and the are just like new.

could this failure be due to installer error? correct me if im wrong but shouldn't they be tightened while these are preloaded? im not saying that you did or did not do it this way. just something i thought of that i would like to know for future reference.

 

They remind me of my old SRR rear UCAs. If they are, I know a few other people that had big problems with them.

Unless you guys have ES style bushings where the metal sleeve is a free rotating piece, you NEED to get all bolts in, NOT tight, set control arms SAFELY on jackstands, then tighten, this way the bushings are at a rest with no load, and they perform as designed.

He said jack stands..
Lok at the shaft and you can see why they failed, some one has cut croves in the shaft and the movement on the ftack made those like saw baldes and they chewed the rubber out. They will be delrin by tonight..
