@@PAOS0160 yes mate you will probably need most of the mods Iv don’t to this one pluss your rear end sorting with the different arms. I tried 3 different setups on this one and got it driving really nice I think
Hi Matt, just visually ( sat looking at my PC ) I can see that the front end geometry is 'sub-optimal', not to mention the rocker pivot being in single shear, I guess you've done what you could with what you were given, but looking at the the extensions, odd angles and lack of adjustment - would have been best to take it to the tat yard. IMHO
@@djohh3057 I agree mate the setup on these subframe could have been so much better in my opinion with a little more time in the design. She is driving really well now, did take me three attempts at setup and test drives to get it that way. The rear was also quite a bit out adding to the snappy ness of the steering
Ball bearings are designed to rotate, making the balls wear equally. Rockers tend to constantly rotate small degrees, even worse on straights when it's just rough tarmac making them move slightly. The balls don't fully rotate leading to uneven wear making them notchy. Rockers ideally should use needle bearings with thrust washers, and that's before you get the tolerance right unlike these in the video.
@@williambower5890 exactly, a needle would be better as it’s spreads the load over the length of the needle and not focus on one point of the ball setup. Or even a bush say impregnated brass or something would be better and double shere
Always a pleasure to watch your work Matt
Hi Matt, thanks for the video, it has the same set up as mine, so I will need similar set up when you have the car in January.

Hi Matt, loving the video and learning g lots as always. Still wanna come be an apprentice for a day ! Working on ur busa would be a dream come true !
@@kathrynderiu1328 on day hun you can pop down no problem.
Great work and setup
@@gafrers thanks mate
