[mattminerDOTcom]

keep an eye on those blox lca buhsings, they will tear in short order most likely

well [crud] never knew that thanx wish i would of spent the xrta 50 bucks and bought skunk2 then

[cmross13]

skunk2 would have done the same thing.

the problem is people arent preloading their suspension before torquing them down, causing the bushings to be on a constant bind.

when you are reassembling your new LCA's just jack up the hubs to approximately where they would be if the car were on the ground under its own weight, then torque them down. you will be just fine.

nice lookig car too! lol

[b16hatch]

alright sounds easy enought lol thanx

[ChokolAwt]

[b16hatch]

[b16hatch]

you are right about torquing them properly, on teh ground, but thats only half the battle. the skunk2 and F7 bushings are deigned quite a bit differently then the blox and friends style ones. Ive seen properly installed ones fail as well.

I didn't like my BLOX lca's at all. So much so I put the car on jack stands to sell them to a friend who had seized bolts in his bushings in his '01 GSR to get him drivin again.

Word to the wise stay away from them.

[b16hatch]
