Never thought about using jack stands, great idea! I have access to an alignment rack so I can tighten all my bushings on my civic preloaded put sometimes I’ll have to work at home on the street.
2 years later and this was useful. Thank you mate 🙏🏼
I used the jack stand method. Great tip !
Nice clear video, thanks a lot!
*_Good video! I'll have to upgrade all these on my 97 eK hatch!_*
Great video. Appreciate it
What should you torque the bolts Down to ?
Nice love the over torqued bolts
Great info!
This some good stuff 👌🏼
Do you have any recommendations for aftermarket bushings for a Ek coupe
Sweet thanks
Ty
This is what I do to every civic I build but this good for new people that just got into building n lowering there car n preloading n tighting up the nuts and bolts
Exactly, awesome! Hoping this video will save someone new to suspensions a big headache.
Let me ask you a question. Here’s my situation I have 95 civic and the previous owner lowered it and hits bumps or driveway entrance where’s there deep. I want to lift to the regular or standard height so it won’t hit the ground anymore and also the tires won’t scratch on fenders or the top. What do you recommend me to do?
Does this work the same if it was spherical bearing bushings?
Bro, how do I get the bolts off of the rear end of my 99 civic SI I can't get them to come off at all!!!!
Are you talking about the toe bolts?
Yeah now do that with the front control arms on an EG Civic. I'd like to see that in a video. Oh wait you can't without removing the wheels.
Where did you get those replacement bushings for the blox LCA?
The bushings weren't replaced with the BLOX LCA'S, the entire LCA was replaced with a different brand. Click Shop This Video link, it's pinned to the top comments.
Whats best suspension to go with 1995 trans am firehawk
Koni STR.T/Strano seems to be the popular choice with the Trans am.
So what would you suggest if I put coilovers on my car but I tightened everything then put it on the ground I just have coilovers atm . Would you say they are now no good ?
You will have to check the bushings to make sure they're not torn. If they're not torn, you can always loosen everything up and preload the vehicle, then torque everything down.
I’ve been told and heard poly bushing don’t need to be preloaded
Any recommendations for 98 accord suspension upgrade?
I have TruHart Street Plus Coilovers on my Honda and I personally would recommend them. It's a smooth stiff suspension in my opinion. Very comfortable.
Is it only done on lowered cars?
Or can you do preload on stock height vehicles too, or in general is it best to do pre load regardless
Hi Paul,
I would always preload vehicles if taking upper and lower control arms off, even when preloading isn't necessary. For instance, with the lower control arm bushings that I was using in this video, it didn't necessarily need a preload because of the type of bushing, but I don't like to tighten things up until everything is in its preloaded position.
Now the upper control arms in the video, those are pressed in non-movable bushings. So if you tighten them when the vehicle is all the way up and lower it, it will tear the rubber bushing. Thoes particular rubber bushing only have so much movement.
Hope this gives you an idea.
@@Nthefastlane ok thanks👍
Since ur on the topic of neutralizing/preloading bushings. I would be cool to do a video on neutralizing motor/trans mounts after an engine swap.
Certain bolts of are left loose, crank motor, let engine fall into place, etc
U get it, ur the pro here haha
If there's one thing all mechanics can agree on, I think it's working on a cooled down engine. Lol
I tend to install the mounts to the chassis, then line up the bolt and hand tighten. I release tension on the hoist and let it settle. Then torque everything down. With some rwd transmission mounts I lift the transmission up, line up the mount, then put the bolts in, drop the transmission on to the mount and finish torquing the bolts.
I'm not sure when I'll ever get to filming a engine swap, but thanks for the idea.
A little bit more expensive and if you don't mind a little bit more harsh ride, you can use spherical bearing bushing and you can torque down as you install the arms. No need to pre-load them.
Yes you are correct. I personally wouldn't daily that. More for a super tight track suspension.
I just jack the suspension up either by the lower ball joint or wood under the rotor then torque everything.
How doesn’t this video have more views?
What Beat is that, I'd love a link if you don't mind. Thank you for the info
I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. It's out of TH-cam studio.
Luck witch
How many lbs of torque you recommend on the bolts after preloading??
Factory torque specs.
Every vehicle is different. For this 96-00 Honda Civic, the lower control arm bolts are torqued to 40ft lbs, the upper control arm bolts, rear and front are 40ft lbs as well.
@@Nthefastlane it's for my Dc2
@@Nthefastlane What about the front forks ?
So, if I decide to add coil-overs to my car I need to loosen all these bushing points as to not damage them?
Yes. Lossen, preload the vehicle, then torque them down.
@@Nthefastlane wtf is preload ?
Preload is dropping the vehicle down to its original resting position, then torquing everything down.
Basically everything should be hand tight, preload the vehicle, and then torque everything down to the torque specs.
Hi. If I didn't preload bushings and tighten them can it cause rear right side of the car seat higher than rear left side? Thanks.
Absolutely. If the bushings are locked in at the wrong position they will cause the vehicle to sit a little bit higher until they tear.
This is suggesting that you have the solid bushings that have no adjustment like the ones I showed in the video that were torn.
@@Nthefastlane I installed polyurethane bushings and didn't preload them.
@@Nthefastlane I am trying to find the reason why my rear right side is about 2 inches higher than left side. Can old torn trailing arm bushings also cause that problem? Thanks.
Do you need camber kit when lowering car ?
Yes. As you lower your vehicle your tires begin to develop negative camber. This is only corrected by installing a camber kit that allows positive adjustments.
Yeah right i work at a car shop and i imagined me in the floor of the shop doing that yeah right i been doing this for years and i installed them normal way and they last for years so dont understand this jejeje
Wish 94 civics was like that, you cant get to front upper control arm bolts like that......
I hear you!
At the 3:14’mark that must be for ek models only because Iv never tighten my upper from the inside the engine bay on the side of the tubs like that,Iv owned 92,94,95 civic An Teggy unless Iv overlooked something but can’t say I have then again Iv never owned ek
The Ej & Ek's are this way. Integra's and EG Civics still need to be adjusted inside the wheel well. Just use the jack stand method to torque those upper control arms.
Nthefastlane Awsome !!!!Thnks for the insightful knowledge
Anytime!
How do not screw the wheels
If you preload and the car is lifted and the wheels drop isn't that the same thing.
This was great, been searching for "upgrades to car" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Vabrielbey Vehicle Verifiability - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my colleague got great results with it.
you forgot to mention a roll center correction kit. people just slam cars and wonder why they handle like shit and have no travel.
Cool of you to post the bible verse . "God's word will live forever "🙏💪👍🔥 YES SIIIR !!!!
God continue to bless you and yours. Great channel bro.
Thank you Antonio! Yes it will.
You didn't mentioned the pounds when you talk
🇺🇸Thank you so much man forgot about this just started working on my stuff after years of a break thank you.. just 🔥🔥SUSCRIBED🔥🔥💪🛻💨got a sweet EG Hatchback for $200 bucks love junkyards in Florida 🇺🇸👍
