The "bracket" that goes on the top of part 6/7 is missing on my car.
Now, I never took that section of the car apart until a few days ago, so I know that I didn't lose it.
I suspect the body shop forgot to put it on. Also havent checked the other side yet to see if its missing there too.

Did the 97s/98s have this piece for sure, or was it added for the 00/01 models?
How important is it?

 

Are you talking about the part that bolts it to the shock tower?

 

I hope you have that part! Take a pic of what you have...

Thats what I'm saying....If it wasn't there, it would just fall out!

 

Only way you wouldn't have that piece is if you used a cheesy camber kit.

I think Ingalls makes a kit like that.

 

I'm talking about the thin little piece of metal that slides over the 2 bolts, not the assembly itself
You can see it in the picture.

They are one with the bolts IIRC.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its one piece.

 

Negative..at least on mine.
On my 2000 its a seperate piece that slides off the top of the bolts.
On the 98 its just not there.

You'll have to wait until I get home to check my 00.

Thats weird. I'm pretty sure when I did the 5-lug on my old h/b, I woudl grab it by the bracket and it never came apart.

 

Maybe I will look at mine sometime this weekend and see if mine has it.

 

Yeah, I've got a million things going through my head right now......
Part of the reason I'm asking is that I could not for the life of me get the bolts any tighter when I mounted that assembly back to the shock tower, and theres a teeny tiny little bit of space underneath where I suspect that bracket should have been.

 

What was it taken out for anyways?

 

IIRC I had to remove that whole bracket thing in order to install an ingalls kit on my old Del Sol. I dont remember if I had it on my R when I installed my Junk2 UCAs on my R.

IIRC its on the skunk2's

 

My driveshaft on my 98 had a torn boot and was making noises so I wanted to swap the driveshaft from the 00, however we could not get the driveshaft on the 98 out of the hub.
I ended up swapping the whole hub and assembly over.

A friend with a 30 ton press just got the axle out this afternoon, and it strained the press lol.
That fugger was jammed up in there!

^ Are Skunk2 Camber Kits bad? I just picked up the fronts, planning on installing them this weekend... Should I not?

I used a sledge hammer to get mine out, then I had to dremel off the end so it would fit thru the hub

never had a problem with mine, and I have the old version. I took the safety precautions though (longer bolts, star washers, sanded down the painted surface). I dont think the newer style has that problem.
