* ROLL CENTRE CORRECTION BALL JOINTS - Whiteline to Hardrace *

In today’s episode we remove the failed whiteline roll centre adjusting ball joints and replace with the Hardrace items in preparation for round 5 of the Uk time attack series this weekend at Anglesey circuit

Hi….i just replace the same ball joints of your on my wrx06 so I just wondering do we need to get wheel alignment done? Thanks

[@nicolasyunh8145]

Cool!!

[@sausagebuttiesdw94]

I'm assuming it would be best to have some tie rods to pair with the hard race ball joints, do you know of any?

[@stevenismybro]

Megan Racing MRS-SU-0350 seem to be the same part, for about half the cost for us here in the US. Dimensions and looks are identical as the Hard Race, and are actually available to purchase currently! Been waiting for months for Hard Race to be back in stock.

They’re the older design mate, Hardrace discontinued this design, I think they had similar issues to the Whiteline design, premature failure, the Hardrace are now much larger in diameter towards to top of the joint

[@stevenismybro]

Actually the ones I got look exactly like the Hardrace ones in your video with the larger diameter portion towards the top. Maybe they updated their design as well. Not sure internally if they are the same, but externally they are.

👌👍cool what you do!
have been following you for a while and am always looking forward to a new video and your experiences.
My Subi will soon be built even more for the track.
Which differentials do you use in front, center and rear ?
nice greetings from Germany !
and keep it up✌️

[@5501pickopicko]

Thankyou mate, I’ve been slacking recently but I will try to keep the content coming 👌
Differential wise I’m completely stock jdm setup, I believe they’re AP Suretrac front and rear and then the none dccd viscous coupling centre diff

[@doaSkid69]

Hmm I have the whiteline kit yet to go on

[@jaimehernandez3792]

How it is goes with the new hardrace correction kit ?? Are they better than the whiteline cause I’m having some issues with a wrx 08 the whiteline only last 3 month … and I use to have the oldest version gc8 and GDB and the white lines last 1 year or year and a half … plz can u tell the experience with this hardrace ball joints thanks 🙏🏼

[@5501pickopicko]

The Whiteline (new ones) are junk mate, they last a couple of laps for me. I don’t recommend the Whiteline whatsoever!
The Hardrace however have held up fantastic, I checked them for play last week actually and there still spot on, no play or wear, highly recommend them mate 👌

[@jackgtir1]

mega series to watch sam ,
just wondering if you ever done away with the t bar and hard mounted the diff\tied it into the roll cage , looking at doing this on my gc8

[@5501pickopicko]

Thanks mate, I did intent to do this and had the t45 tube to do it with, but ran out of time when prepping the shell unfortunately, I was going to tie it into the cage through the floor. One day I’ll do it 😅

[@jackgtir1]

@@5501pickopicko nice one Sam , looking forward to seeing it done , you ever seen one done yourself , cant imagine it would be to much of a drama to do

[@5501pickopicko]

Now you’ve mentioned it, I actually haven’t looked at any of my mates ones that have been done, I’ll have a look at the next race meet and grab a couple of pics 👌

[@FullSendFabrication]

Thank you! I saw in the comments below that they held up nicely. How low are you below the factory ride height?

[@5501pickopicko]

Yeah they’re still holding up well, so I’m not sure as there isn’t really an oem reference point to measure from anymore but at a guess I’d say 50-60mm perhaps?

[@FullSendFabrication]

@@5501pickopicko Thanks! I ordered some they're on back order but should be in by the time I need them. We had discussed around 2" which should be abt 50-55mm. Looking forward to it!!

[@sp33der617]

[@5501pickopicko]

Hiya so the Hardrace part number is : 6438
