Hey Aaron, @yeahmag , once upon a time you asked me about the monoball. Now I am ready for that conversation. I have resently order the new front suspension from Pelican and I am curious about holding the top of the strut on place. I know you have experience in just that I want to know what you have learned. I have seen stuff from$200 to over $800 and just like you I have no budget.
Aren't you Team Underfunded??? I surely don't want to spend the $800 of I can just make up a bushing to hold the top of the shock in place. Thanks in advance. Joe |

Thanks Aaron, nice pic it looks like you've got the wheel standing up as much as possible. I was thinking about filing the holes on the inboard side to stand them up a little more.

Joe - Rebel has a couple options for strut top monoballs, including some that replace the rubber in the stock strut top housing. Here's one. $200
https://www.rsrproducts.com/product-page/sp...ball-cartridges Edit - if you're so inclined, you can fabricate. I did when I built my 914. Very time consuming, but you don't seem to be afraid of that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). As I recall, I used some steel tubing to house the bearing, and welded that to the strut top housing. As luck would have it, the little metal spacer thingee from the stock rubber bushings fit the ID of the bearing I used. I want to say it was a 3/4" or 7/8" spherical bearing. |
