Nice work, as always, Rudy!

So if I have MikeRs full set including tie bar rods, could I swap out the ends to eliminate the slight noise or are these even compatible?

Thanks Rudy

 

Now your teasing, and that's not nice.

 

Bump for any word on special ends or status on these? I know a few more people are looking for a solution. Thanks!

 

I will even bribe the fiancé. What does she like? LOL>>>..

 

for those that don't know, when Rudy came to Florida, he brought me a set of the rear links,, with the V-8 and the harsh Punishment that I give my car, we installed them and were going to run them for a month or two of his as a test, so far their perfect, I did get the rear aligned, center to center left right, and aligned with the track, again they work great.Thanks Rudy you did it again,, can't find the pictures right now but I will post them later.jim

 

I am in for this solution. Rudy's camber arms and adjustment links. Please let us know as soon as they are available.

Here are the camber arms Rudy made for my car. ,i also have pic somewhere in my computer of all adjustable arms if i could only find them, pictures of all the arms are installed on the car. jim

 

Looks great, can't wait to see the whole set!

 

Same here!!!

 

Hows the testing going? Anybody know?

 

Don't know if these will get you the amount of correction you need but it is worth posting.

There's a set on Jim's car and they are having the living snot beat out of them in the name of testing. I want some miles put on these to ensure they are up to the task. Should everything go as planned, they will be available around the end of June.

Take care.

 

I would be interested in the front fully adjustable camber for sure. I would prefer a noise fix for my MikeR's on the back but understand if that is not of interest. Thanks again for more mod options.

 

The setup being tested will replace everything but the tie rod and the lower control arm. The tie rod was being tested but they will be cost prohibitive to include due to the size requirements for fitting the hub and with it already being adjustable, the extra adjustment you'd get with them just doesn't justify the cost.

Those interested in the set of 4 adjustable links, please post here so I can start getting a head count.

 

I'm potentially interested depending on price. Do you have a final dollar value for the set yet?
I'd like to lower my car, but only if I can do it at reasonable cost, and I'm certainly not just doing the springs without having everything else to get the car in spec. The springs are the cheapest part....

 

Count me in on the head count!

 

I am trying to picture what "everything" is for the front that will be replaced except the lower control arm and tie rod. Would you mind listing the parts that would be included?

 

Pretty much the same DIY setup I posted several months ago for under $100 a set...!!!
Mine were a perfect fit and have been completely silent.

FYI, the good left-hand tap and die you'll need to clean up the threads will cost just as much or more and then figure in your time. And on top of that, what do you do when you get two rods that aren't the same length. These are the things I dealt with and why I started working on something better.

But DIY is cheaper.

 

Totally understand your reasoning and I'm not by any means berating your parts. I've dealt with many of the same scenarios while machining parts for the Space Shuttle in my previous 25 yrs. But dealing with cost cutting by the contractors puts one in the frame of mind to look for the "best and cheapest" route to get the jobs done. If store bought items come close to what I can make at a much cheaper price, then it's a no-brainer. I do a ton of diligent research before testing a product. I could have made a titanium tubed DCAI with ceramic coating (at an ultra-extreme cost), but the one I put together with store bought parts cost 1/2 of what a Needswings DCAI cost, though I do sacrifice 3-5 hp. For my daily driver, it's more than enough to beat up on all the C5s and 350Zs and the like that think they need to race me home from work every day. (They don't call it the NASA 500 for nothin!)

As for the DIY rods, they have been perfect. No need to clean threads (although I do have the full compliment of left and right hand tap and dies in SAE and metric, including UNJ, UNEF and BSP). The tubes are made by Allstar Performance so no discrepancy in the lengths (and if there were, hey, the rod ends are adjustable ). A little Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 for thread lube and some waterproof boat trailer wheel bearing grease for the ends and all is good for the last several months. Not even the slightest creak or squeak.

I absolutely respect all that you do Rudy, and wish I could do the same. But working 10 hr days 6 days a week, and repairing computers every day after work leaves me very little personal time. Please keep up the great contributions you've always given us. You are what makes our forum and our cars so special!
