My trailing arm nuts keep coming loose. Guess I just need to replace them new ones or with nylon lock nuts. Anybody know the thread size off hand? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The rubber bushings have "spring" in them amounting to something like 20lbs. The plastic bushings have "stiction" that is imeasureable (infinite spring rate)
Roller bearings: have NO effect on the overall spring rate. No drag. The car will ride smoother than it did with the rubber bushings. The shocks now work and valving becomes more important. The shocks will not fight the "stiction" in the system. Ever heard a 914 or 911 "creak" while going past you at a AutoX? Every time you hear it creak.. it is the suspension sticking. Push down on the fender of a plastic bushing car and count how long it takes for it to "jounce" back. Some take several minutes. Do this with a roller bearing car and the car will follow your hand up and down. B |
