I put on my z-10 bars yesterday, also put on new upper lower ball joints, all poly bushing up front (still have to do the rear) and new tie rods. I can't believe how much more tractable the car is. I'm taking it to get it aligned today also. I can't wait... It will be like a new car, well not quit new it is an 89

 

how much did the Z10 bars set you back?

 

Same here, Z10's, Skunk2 coilovers, Tokico 5 ways, new outer tie rod ends, new upper and lower ball joints. I'm so happy that my car is almost new again.

 

how much did the upper ball joints run you?

 

Supposedly, you have to replace the entire upper-arm. I've been told you can't justs replace the upper ball joint.

 

I am very happy with my Z10 crossmember. I need a new steering rack to make my car feel new again though. But Wheel hop is gone!

 

How important is the pre-load setting on these? The other crossmember that is offered (the $350 one) only has 3/8" of adjustment- how critical is the pre-load adjustment and while we are at it, exactly what does the pre-load affect?

thanks
