I don't know how I feel about the bushing

Re: project 86
 

Yeah that doesnt look good...are they supposed to have another bushing on the inside?

Re: project 86
 

I'll know tomorrow but the pictures on the net look like it has only one.

Re: project 86
 

Hhmm... I can look @ the set I got from them & see if they're similar. I don't recall any concerns about the depth of the bushing after assembling them (I may not have paid enough attention though). I do remember having to trim the length of the sleeves.

Re: project 86
 

Let me guess, you trimmed it because it seems like there was no "crush" on the bushing? If so I think it's ridiculous to pay almost a grand and wait 3months to have to modify our arms

Re: project 86
 

Correct on the sleeve mod. IMO, the sleeves seemed to thin to be the limitation of the compression point when tightening up the hardware for the bushing. I'll dig mine out after work today & look. I ended up using my OE uppers & just modified it to clear the steering shaft as I felt it was the cleaner alternative vs steering knuckles.

Just in

Chris,

Im not sure what you mean by collapse the bushing.... you want the nuts to be tight on the washers, which are tight on the sleeves, so the arm will pivot on the metal sleeve, you do not want the washer rubbing on the bushing very hard, just touching barely, you do not want a ton of friction there, it just wears the bushings sooner.

Any plans to run a drop spindle with your set up?
You have alot of money in bags and a-arms to not get the cheap drop of drop spindles.

Re: project 86
 

I wanted to see how it would sit, the cross member is sectioned by SCOTI

Re: project 86
 

Correct. I trimmed them so there would be pressure @ the sleeve & minimal contact @ the bushing so the arm would resist fore/aft shifting. Basically the sleeve was longer than the bushing which didn't allow full thread engagement on the cross-shaft nut as well as a gap between the bushing & retaining washer.

Wow, that thing made some impressive HP and Torque. In the description it said Rampage Jackson......Like the fighter?

Re: project 86
 

He's just a fan of the fighter, it should make more power all forged internals but nistune is a not good for that amount of power
